In addition to standard inspection, repair and replacement procedures, a complete line of services are available to ensure that the roll returns to the mill good-to-go and in the shortest possible time.
Stowe Woodward continually invests in the latest mechanical services technologies, and ongoing training of shop personnel ensures excellent quality on every roll.
Regrinding and Regrooving
Stowe Woodward services roll covers beyond the new recover by providing regrinding, regrooving and inspection services on all rolls.
Water/Bead Blasting, Chemical Cleaning
Using the latest equipment in specialized bays for safety and protection of roll components, these services effectively clean components and prepare them for inspection and painting, if required. Disposal of debris is performed under strict environmental guidelines.
Drill Cleaning
Drill cleaning can clear severely plugged shells when water blasting and chemical cleaning cannot. Using the same drill machine used for drilling covers, complete cleaning can be accomplished in a relatively short amount of time.
NDT Services
Using local, reputable NDT service companies, each Stowe Woodward plant can perform necessary non-destructive testing on all roll components. The official findings are included with Stowe Woodward's final inspection and rebuild report.
Design and Fabrication of Dummy Heads
Often needed on short notice, Stowe Woodward supplies dummy heads engineered and designed for every roll in the industry with little or no delay to the processing of the roll. Heads can be returned with the roll or kept at the local Stowe Woodward plant.
Ultrasound Cover Inspections
Stowe Woodward uses ultrasound inspection to identify problems with roll covers that may not be detected using other techniques. Trained technicians using specialized UT equipment can help detect voids, separations and cover looseness.
Roll Cover Patching
From minor blemishes to major damage, Stowe Woodward's trained technicians and ASEs help salvage and maximize cover life. Evaluated for viability and cost on a case-by-case basis, assistance with repairs are performed on-site or rolls are sent to a Stowe Woodward plant for extensive repairs.
Training Seminars
Available on-site or at one of Stowe Woodward's strategically located plants, training seminars are structured to meet the specific needs of the customer.
