Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Xerium Technologies, Raleigh, N.C., USA, a manufacturer of industrial textiles and rolls used primarily in the paper production process, this week announced full commercial availability of a technologically advanced new series of roll cover products designed for improved machine performance, better wear, and longer, more efficient product life. The latest range of roll cover products are designed to reduce operating costs and maximize the output of existing equipment while enhancing product customization capabilities for each individual customer.

Developed by Stowe Woodward's global research and product engineering team, the latest family of roll cover products from Xerium include: ·

  • Quantum R and Aquarius R high performance polyurethane covers incorporate high release additives. Combined with Stowe Woodward's SMART Technology, Quantum R and Aquarius R provide on-the-run nip profile data for maximum papermaking efficiency. Designed for paper machine pressing applications, Quantum R provides superior release performance in soft press, smoothing press, and calendar positions, the company notes. The surface properties of Quantum R can release the sheet when other polyurethane or high release rubber covers may fail. Aquarius R provides a cover release surface for lumpbreakers and other extra soft sheet release cover applications. ·
  • Embrace polyurethane roll covers provide high performance in tissue embossing, paper converting, laminating, film, textile, and other industrial applications. The cool-running, high-strength cover will run in the toughest high speed applications, Xerium points out. When additional insurance is required against abuse and failure, Embrace can be supplied with Stowe Woodward's Lifegard bonding system.
