ESR spreader rollers

Image

The unique, newly patented EcoStretchRoll (ESR) is a new type of rubber roller with special benefits. Numerous individual spreading elements in the form of rubber rings are installed on high-quality guiding rolls. Web spreading - from the center out - works equally well in either rotating direction. Thanks to its simple installation, the ESR spreader roller can be used immediately. Advantages at a glance:

  • strong spreading capacity
  • large contact surface
  • marking-free
  • nearly wear-free
  • cost-efficient
  • FDA compliant

Web spreading for many applications

The new spreader rollers by HESSENBRUCH Spreading Technology remove wrinkles at a broad range of speeds, materials and lane tensions. For plastic film or aluminum foil as well as for paper, nonwovens or textiles. The positive properties of existing web spreading methods such as brush rollers or rubber rollers have been combined and improved further in the innovative ESR spreader roller. ESR rolls can be used as an idler roll, a bow roller or a guide roller - with excellent spreading properties.

The roll works like a vibration-dampening guidance roller with perfect spreading properties. Our cost-efficient, rubber-coated transport rollers make web handling very easy. Thus, they are an outstanding alternative for existing systems. They can be used by manufacturers in any position, e.g. to replace a concave banana roller or guiding roller, in a turning bar system or before a tensioning shaft in a winding station.

Films & Foils

The ESR spreader rollers are suitable for any film type from 4 μm upwards – both for single-layer films and for multiple-layer films or, e.g., Biax PETP films.

Image

Nonwovens

Fleeces from the nonwovens industry can be spread outstandingly well due to the unique properties of the ESR system.

Image

Fabrics

The ESR ensures a perfect spreading result for all kinds of textiles.

Image

Papers

In paper machines the web can be spread particularly gently due to the large smooth contact surface made of EPDM or silicone.

Advantages of the ESR spreader roller

Image

Working principle

The ESR spreader roller has specially shaped, patented spreading rings with 20 to 40 individual spreader elements that work completely independent of each other.

Image

Contact surface

The large, smooth, slightly curved contact surfaces of the roller do spread particularly early and gently, without any markings.

Image

Wrap angle

The roller offers full function at wrap angles between 8 to 180 degrees and spreads equally well in both rotating direction.

Image

Web tensions

Absolute wrinkle-freeness between 40 and 500 N per metre of roller length.

Image

Web thickness

The roller is suitable for any material thickness >4 µm and >10 g/m².

Image

Multiple cuts

The spreading behaviour can be precisely adjusted across the entire roller width by partial insertion of areas with reduced spreading functionality.

Image

Turning bar system

ESR spreader rollers smooth perfectly - even under the special conditions in a turning bar system.

Image

Line speed

This guide roller permits secure spreading at line speeds of up to 800 metres per minute. The roller runs perfectly calm while working.

Image

Material properties

The properties of the materials EPDM, TPE or silicone are suitable for many different areas of use.

Image

Versions

The individual spreading elements are available in 4 diameters, 2 layouts and 3 materials. Length according to individual customer requirements, max. 7000 mm

Image

Roller body

Smooth-running roller from DRECKSHAGE. Lightweight aluminum core with special geometry for high bending strength. Fast reaction due to starting weights from 20 g with low mass inertia.

Image

Assembly

The ESR roller is supplied ready for installation according to customer specifications. The roller does not need a separate drive, which makes it ready for operation at once.
