Spreader  Rolls
  • Our Rolls Meet Larger-Scale, Higher-Speed Production Requirements.

    The spreader roll is used to remove wrinkles at various stages of the papermaking process, and it is an important roll that determines the quality of paper products. Yamauchi has developed a variety of high-performance spreader rolls that offer high durability to ensure stable operation without frequent maintenance. Our rolls also offer excellent energy-saving performance by requiring low torque in smooth startup. We offer a wide range of spreader rolls for use in large and high-speed papermaking machines, and they are highly evaluated by our customers.

CHARACTERISTICS

Special Bearing Helps Optimum Operation under Bias, High-Speed Outer Ring Rotation.

The spreader roll removes wrinkles by passing paper outward from the center. By using a special YHB bearing, Yamauchi has further improved the performance and reliability of spreader rolls. In addition, by using a reinforced axle, Yamauchi has reduced flexure and vibration during operation, which significantly improves stability in high-speed rotation.
