The innovative INOMETA heating roller has been designed with the needs and requirements for coating and laminating films and other substrates in mind. We ensure a reliably constant and uniform surface temperature distribution, as this is the prerequisite for even material web tempering.
A fast start-up curve of the heating power and precise temperature distribution control on the roller surface are what makes the electric heating roller stand out from competing products. The maximum lasting operating temperature is 160°C.
Owing to their electrical mode of operation, the heating rollers do not need any liquid media, the power and signals are transmitted via a flange-mounted slip ring contact. Heat losses outside the roller through the pipe system are thus now a thing of the past.
Maximum performance & energy efficiency without losses – heating rollers from INOMETA
For many industrial applications like laminating, precise temperature control and the loss-free use of energy are essential for efficient and high-quality production. The key lies in delivering the exact amount of energy right where it’s needed: at the roller.
Conventional heating rollers rely on media like oil or water, but these require heat exchangers, pipes, and pumps, leading to significant energy losses. In short, a much larger amount of energy needs to be supplied than what ultimately reaches the rollers, resulting in low efficiency, higher production costs, and wasted energy.
Our innovative heating rollers eliminate this inefficiency. Heat is generated directly within the roller using electrical energy, minimizing energy loss. This means the supplied energy nearly matches the required usable energy, leading to a significant boost in energy efficiency. Additionally, since there’s no need to heat up a medium, preheating times vanish, resulting in faster production cycles and lower energy costs.
Thanks to local heat generation, INOMETA heating rollers offer additional benefits. Their compact design eliminates the need for bulky storage tanks, pipes, and pumps, simplifying installation and saving valuable floor space. This also minimizes setup times and the inherent inertia of conventional systems, leading to high efficiency, reduced energy and production costs, and a more environmentally friendly operation.
Heating roller 2.0 – maximum efficiency through sustainable energy supply
In contrast to conventional heating rollers, which are generally heated by liquid media, the operating costs with the INOMETA heating roller can be considerably reduced in some instances with the following advantages:
- Very good energy efficiency/overall efficiency (no heat losses in reservoirs, pipes or pumps)
- Very low space requirements (reservoirs, pipes and pumps are not required)
- Minimal investment required (reservoirs, pipes and pumps are not required)
- Extremely low service expenditure, as it is not necessary to maintain rotary feed-throughs, pipes, reservoirs and pumps (reduction in components requiring maintenance)
- No or significantly reduced service downtimes
- High level of economic efficiency, thanks to good energy efficiency and durability
- Easy to install, thanks to minimal space requirements
- Local generation of process heat, exactly where it is needed
- No leaks, which contaminate the surroundings or substrate
- Eco-friendly recycling by eliminating oil-based heating media
- Ecological, as no waste oil load
- Great options for integration into the machine control by means of fieldbus and therefore options to document and influence the process variables
- shorter heating and preheating times (time-consuming heating of the medium is no longer necessary)
Heating rollers – for manufacturers of batteries, in the laminating, coating or stretching process
Moreover, INOMETA heating rollers offer an extremely compact machinery concept, as reservoirs, pipes and pump stations for media are no longer required. The heating roller can be operated on a decentralised basis via a control unit or integrated into the machine control by means of fieldbus and therefore enables external temperature monitoring.
