All-inclusive roller service for the renewal of roller covering
During operation, roller covers experience wear and tear. This directly impacts roller performance and efficiency. Worn covers exhibit decreased friction, leading to slippage and diminished drive power. Uneven wear creates an uneven roller surface, causing vibrations and reduced precision. Furthermore, cracks and flaking damage the surface, compromising material properties.
Recognizing the impact of worn roller covers, INOMETA provides a comprehensive roller service, encompassing everything from inspection to complete overhaul. Their extensive experience and advanced machinery allow them to handle rollers up to 2 meters in diameter, 17 meters long, and weighing up to 20 tons. The renewal of roller covers is carried out in several steps using modern processes and strict quality management:
- Development of individual maintenance plans, following a thorough inspection of the rollers, to meet the customer’s specific needs.
- Replacement of the old roller cover and environmentally friendly disposal of old covers.
- Preparation of the roller surface.
- Application of the new roller cover, followed by rigorous testing to the highest quality standards and finishing.
The renewal of roller covers achieves the following advantages for customer-specific applications:
- Renewal of the cover significantly extends the service life of the rollers.
- New roll covers ensure better performance and efficiency throughout the entire production chain.
- The renewal of roll covers is generally more cost-effective than the purchase of new rolls.
- By using high-quality materials and processes, INOMETA can restore the original equipment quality of the rollers.
INOMETA empowers its customers with access to premium roller covers, backed by over 40 years of outstanding expertise in roller manufacturing.
