Draw rollers

Draw rollers made of CFRP/GRP and aluminium

Our CFRP and aluminium draw rollers offer ideal solutions for applications demanding maximum precision and dynamic loads. They are highly adaptable and meet a wide range of individual requirements. INOMETA draw rollers play a key role in industrial production processes, where they precisely control speed and draw while guiding material through the system. For example, they can be used to create tension in film webs to draw or stretch them, as well as to enhance material properties like strength, tear resistance, and elasticity. Driven by the material itself, they rotate at variable speeds and are strategically positioned to optimally guide and shape the material.

Precision and flexibility for tailor-made solutions – draw rollers by INOMETA

INOMETA’s CFRP and aluminium draw rollers are characterized by their outstanding properties such as high strength, low weight, and excellent rigidity. These features ensure precise material guidance, reduce vibrations, and prevent wrinkling and stretching of the material. They also impress with their robust and compact design, capable of withstanding high loads in various industrial environments.

Our innovative draw rollers are used in a wide range of industries, including:

Packaging industry
Printing industry
Plastics industry
Textile industry
Film industry
Metal foil production and finishing
Steel industry
Battery production

Thanks to their flexible application possibilities and outstanding properties, our CFRP and aluminium draw rollers offer tailor-made solutions for the highest demands.
