The ability to stand up to the chemical and high-heat environment of textile manufacturing is the first requirement for successful roll covers. Equally important is the need to provide the long service life that delivers the economy necessary to compete in today's global marketplace.
Improved quality, increased efficiency and innovative value are the primary benefits that Stowe Woodward technologies bring to the textile industry.
Eliminating premature roll hardening, compromised performance from chemical attack, premature yarn wear, and cover debonding are examples of roll solutions that increase line efficiency. Engineered roll covers with longer service life assist textile manufacturers that compete in global markets.
Carbonizing Top
The carbonizing top roll produces high pressure loading to ensure penetration under heat and load.
The roll cover must retard roll face wear while maintaining the core-to-cover bond under high pressure and heat.
Carbonizing Bottom
The carbonizing bottom roll is a hard roll mated to the carbonizing top roll.
The objective is to retard roll face wear while maintaining the cover-to-core bond under high pressure and heat.
Dolly Washer Top
The dolly washer top roll is the pull roll for continuous looping of fabric web in the washer.
The roll cover of choice has excellent wear resistance and bond retention in the presence of washer chemical solutions.
Dolly Washer Bottom
The dolly washer bottom roll is the backing roll for continuous looping of fabric web in the washer.
The roll cover must exhibit excellent wear resistance and bond retention in the presence of washer chemical solution.
Crab Top
The crab top roll provides high pressure loading to ensure penetration under heat and load.
The objective is to retard roll face wear while maintaining the cover-to-core bond under high pressure and heat.
Crab Bottom
The crab bottom roll is a hard roll mated with the crab top roll.
The primary challenge is to minimize roll face wear while maintaining the cover-to-core bond under high pressure and heat.
Scutcher Top & Bottom
The Scutcher operation consists of a hard roll mated with a softer squeeze roll to provide hard backing for extraction in the nip.
The roll covers must have excellent wear resistance and bond retention in the presence of chemical solutions. They must resist roll surface cracking in order to reduce picking of the fiber from the web.
Fulling Mill (Vulcanized Only) Top
The top pull roll provides continuous looping of fabric web in the washer.
Excellent wear resistance and bond retention in the presence of washer chemical solutions is required.
Fulling Mill (Vulcanized Only) Bottom
The lower hard backing roll to fulling mill top pulling roll.
Excellent wear resistance and bond retention in the presence of washer chemical solutions is imperative. An excellent coefficient of friction prevents slippage and reduced wear.
