Rolls for textile applications
In addition to required chemical resistance, mechanical strength, precise coatings, and long service life are critical to the industry’s profitability.
Furthermore, special coatings can make a decisive difference in process quality and performance, for example for squeezing processes or product lamination.
MITEX produces roll coatings for the textile industry worldwide and will be happy to assist you in selecting the right specialty coating for your process requirements.
Below are examples of a few industry challenges with suggested solutions. For more information or a no-obligation recommendation from our technicians for your application, please contact us directly.
Our rollers solve problems with:
Causes
- Surfaces of the cover material too smooth
- Surface profile not sufficient to emboss the product
- High temperatures affect the cover material
- Low service life of the surface profile
Effekte
- Embossing too low
- High replacement intervals of the roll covers
- “Picking” of the cover material on the substrate
- Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
Our solution for problems caused by too low deep embossing
Causes
- High contact pressure
- High process speeds
- Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
- No / insufficient spreading effect
Effects
- Melting or cracks on the cover surface
- Wrinkles, holes or similar damage to the product
- Product or adhesive sticks to the roll surface
- Roll cover detachment
Our solution for lamination problems
Causes
- Dirt from the environment settles on the product and process parts
- Cutting residues from convection in the process
- Environmental influences (insects, pollen, etc.) settle on the product
Effects
- Contaminants are trapped in the product in subsequent processes
- Rejects
- Damage to the product
- Disruption of subsequent processes
Our solution for problems with surface contamination
Causes
- Roll surface too adhesive
- Melted substrate
- Short service life with regard to adhesion properties
- Adhesive penetrates textile substrate and adheres to roll surface
Effects
- Adhesion of substrate to roll surface
- Adhesive buildup on roll surface
- Contamination of the substrate
- Influence on subsequent process steps
