Hot Needle Perforating Rollers
For heated perforation of compatible thermoplastic films and nonwoven materials. Material response and finished hole quality are checked in trials before releasing a new process.
Custom Needle Perforating Rollers
Custom hot and cold needle perforating rollers for plastic film, paper, foil, nonwoven and laminate processing.
Full rollers, sleeves, segments and needle rings can be manufactured to your drawing, with roller lengths up to 6 metres.
Send Your DrawingWhat Is a Needle Perforating Roller?
A needle perforating roller uses accurately arranged metal pins to create controlled holes in film, paper, foil, nonwoven and other moving web materials.
Pin size, projection, spacing and pattern are customized for the required perforation and machine design, including unperforated margins or zones. Finished hole size also depends on pin-tip geometry, penetration depth, web material, thickness and operating temperature.
Needle Perforating Rollers We Can Manufacture
Cold Needle Perforating Rollers
For mechanical perforation of plastic film, paper, foil, nonwoven and laminate webs without heating the needles.
Full-Length Rollers, Sleeves, Segments & Needle Rings
We manufacture full-length needle perforating rollers, replaceable pinned sleeves, sectional rollers and individual needle rings.
Micro-perforating patterns, pin arrangements and working widths can be customized. Sleeves, segments and needle rings allow selected working sections to be replaced without changing the complete roller.
Copper & Aluminum Construction
Roller bodies, sleeves, segments and needle-ring carriers can be manufactured in copper or aluminum.
Material, dimensions and pin arrangement are matched to the hot or cold process and the approved equipment drawing.
Re-Pinning & Refurbishment
Existing needle rollers can be re-pinned or refurbished when the roller body and shaft remain suitable for reuse.
Custom Manufacturing
Roller Lengths Up to 6 Metres
We manufacture needle perforating rollers up to 6 metres long for wide-web processing equipment.
Roller diameter, working width, shaft, bore, mounting interface and pin arrangement are made to the approved drawing.
Critical runout, pin-height variation and any balancing requirement follow the agreed drawing and inspection plan.
