Xerium Technologies Inc., Youngsville, N.C., USA, a global provider of industrial consumable products and services, earlier this week launched a new generation of Genesis calender roll cover technology.

Genesis XTi and Genesis APi are the latest additions to the industry-leading Genesis family of roll covers. The new Genesis covers are specifically engineered to provide improved wear resistance and fracture toughness in demanding calender applications requiring the highest gloss. In addition, due to its unique design, this cover delivers these improved factors while continuing to deliver high ductility.
 
 

"The roll technology team is proud to unveil yet another step change in roll cover performance on these demanding calender applications. Genesis XTi and Genesis APi roll cover technologies were developed to address our customers' requests for increased life and improved roll durability," said Bill Butterfield, EVP and CTO of Xerium. "Composite calender covers operate under the most demanding load conditions for nipped roll covers and these new generations of Genesis covers have been developed to improve crack and barring resistance while ensuring maximum gloss for critical grades. We are continually striving for innovations enabling our customers to achieve new performance levels by applying our technology."
