Roll covers for board and paper making
Increased production efficiency with Valmet’s roll covers
Valmet’s long experience in the papermaking industry and broad process expertise help you to choose the right roll cover for each board and paper making application. Our roll covers and coatings are based on state-of-the-art polymer and thermal coating technologies that provide excellent wear resistance, stable roughness and hardness, and durability in demanding operating environments, enabling trouble-free run periods.
Durability for long lifetime
Long grinding intervals
Optimal board and paper quality
The right cover solution for each process condition
Modern board or papermaking lines include hundreds of rolls operating in different positions. Each position has its own operating environment, which the rolls and their covers must meet. The major technical parameters for roll covers to be considered in papermaking applications are abrasive contact, local moisture level, temperature, mechanical load and the chemical environment. Good wet condition solutions may differ markedly from solutions which work best in dry conditions.
Roll cover wear is also an important issue to be considered in developing covers for different applications. Development at Valmet is based on longstanding know-how in material testing in the laboratory, as well as experience of real life applications. Depending on roll position and cover type – hard ceramic or soft polyurethane, for example – the cover behavior and actual wear phenomena are different, and finding an optimum solution requires specific know-how and understanding.
