Drawing-based nonwoven rolls for wringing, de-oiling, oiling, and fluid control on stainless steel, annealing, galvanizing, and cold strip lines.
Send Your DrawingNonwoven mill rolls use a nonwoven working surface rather than bristles. They provide uniform strip contact, fluid control, and traction in wet or oily metal-processing applications.
The nonwoven grade and density are selected around the actual nip pressure, fluid chemistry and filtration, operating temperature, line speed, surface finish, crown, and shaft deflection that affect wear and service life.
Regrinding or repair can be assessed from the roll condition.
Supports strip contact in wet or oily conditions.
Supports uniform wringing, de-oiling, or liquid application.
We can manufacture nonwoven mill rolls with working lengths exceeding 5.5 m. Every roll is produced to the approved drawing, with the outside diameter, roll face, cover thickness, core, shaft, journals, and end interfaces customized for OEM, replacement, and large-volume orders.
Available hardness options range from 55 to 100 Shore A. Depending on the selected nonwoven grade and binder system, rolls can be reviewed for operating temperatures up to 180°C and process environments from pH 2 to 10. These values represent the overall customization range, not one universal material configuration. Hardness and density, chemical compatibility, temperature, line speed, load, nip pressure, and the required fluid-control result must be evaluated together.
A clearly marked drawing is sufficient for our initial review and quotation.
Please provide the roll application and line position, strip material and width, finished outside diameter, face length, cover thickness, shaft or core drawing, line speed, roll RPM, nip pressure or line load, process liquid, pH, temperature, and the required wringing, oil-film, or traction result. An existing roll specification or dimensioned drawing is also helpful.
The nonwoven grade, density, and hardness are selected together according to the roll function, strip surface, process liquid, operating temperature, line speed, nip pressure, and required residual liquid or traction. There is no single hardness suitable for every application. When replacing an existing roll, the verified original grade and operating data should be reviewed first.
Important operating data includes the liquid type, viscosity or concentration, pH, temperature, and filtration condition, together with the strip material, thickness and width, line speed, nip pressure or line load, and the required residual moisture or oil film. Existing problems such as edge wetness, liquid carryover, slippage, or uneven wringing should also be identified.
Crowning and dynamic balancing requirements depend on the roll face length, shaft and core construction, bearing support, applied line load, operating speed, and allowable runout. Crowning may be required to compensate for shaft deflection and maintain uniform nip pressure across the roll face. The required balance grade should be confirmed from the machine speed and equipment specification.
Yes. We can manufacture a replacement nonwoven mill roll from a dimensioned drawing, existing specification, or measured sample. Before production, we confirm the finished diameter, face length, cover construction, shaft and journal dimensions, mounting interfaces, hardness or density, surface finish, and operating conditions.
Yes. We can evaluate worn nonwoven mill rolls for regrinding, local repair, or recovering. The appropriate method depends on the damage depth, remaining diameter, cover construction, shaft and core condition, required surface finish, and dimensional tolerance. The roll must be inspected before the repair method is confirmed.
Common causes include excessive or insufficient nip pressure, an unsuitable nonwoven grade, operation outside the specified temperature or pH range, contaminated or poorly filtered liquid, incorrect crowning, shaft deflection, uneven surface finish, and line speed outside the roll's design conditions. The operating data and wear pattern should be reviewed before changing the pressure or roll specification.
Send your drawing and operating conditions. We will review the roll function, dimensions, working surface, hardness, and machine interface before quotation. Custom production service starts from 10 rolls.
