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 is capable of supplying dummy heads engineered and designed for every roll in the industry, usually at little or no delay to the processing of the roll. Heads can be returned with the roll or stored at the local Stowe Woodward plant.

Roll cover patching
From minor blemishes to major damage, Stowe Woodward's trained technicians and ASEs can help salvage and maximize cover life. Evaluated for viability and cost on a case-by-case basis, assistance with repairs can be performed on-site or, for extensive repairs, at one of our regionally based plants.

Training seminars
Available on-site or at one of Stowe Woodward's strategically located plants, training seminars can be structured to meet the specific needs of your location.
