Mount Hope delivers advanced Bowed Roll technology and application expertise.
Mount Hope bowed rolls provide the smoothness and sheet control that allow papermakers to continue their record-breaking increases in productivity. In 1945 Mount Hope designed, built and patented the first bowed roll in North America to help textile manufactures improve quality and efficiency. Today, a complete line of bowed rolls help manufacturers of film, foil, textiles and nonwovens, as well as printers and converters reduce rejects and improve efficiencies through a reduction in wrinkles, calender cuts, and uneven winding.
As the most respected name in bowed roll solutions, Mount Hope offers the most complete product line...Fixed Bow, VARI-BOW, and MULTI-BOW. There are even solutions for extreme applications such as the steel surfaced METROL, the HTA liquid cooled roll, and custom application matched sleeves for the most demanding applications.
In the forming section, Mount Hope rolls maintain the condition of the fabrics for better sheet formation and longer fabric life. In the press, size, coating and dryer sections, Mount Hope rolls optimize the felts and maintain a smooth, flat sheet.
Bowed rolls ensure that a wrinkle-free sheet enters slitter/winder operations.
Selecting the proper roll size, calculating the correct wrap angle and specifying the right cover for the best release and wear are critical for a successful application.
These are just some of the considerations that experienced Mount Hope Application and Sales Engineers employ for optimizing any web process. |
