ULX Deflection Roller – Smart Design for Efficiency and Cost Savings
Deflection rollers with non-stick plasma coating made by Temco are mainly used in the nonwoven sector, offering a unique combination of excellent traction properties and outstanding non-stick performance. These characteristics are particularly beneficial in areas where adhesives, such as hotmelts, are used, preventing unwanted material buildup and ensuring smooth operation.
However, traditional plasma-coated rollers come with certain disadvantages, such as limited durability of the coating and gradual degradation of non-stick performance over time. When the coating wears out or gets damaged, the entire roller, including all its components, must be replaced, requiring customers to keep complete spare rollers in stock to maintain their production efficiency.
The Temco Solution: Exchangeable Deflection roller ULX
To address these challenges, Temco has developed the innovative Exchangeable Deflection Roller ULX, designed to significantly reduce downtime, lower maintenance costs, and optimize spare part management.
Advantages for customers
- Quick and easy shell replacement: The roll shell can be exchanged effortlessly, minimizing machine down time and operational costs
- Cost savings through reusability: Instead of replacing the entire roller, only the worn-out shell needs to be changed. This results in a cost reduction while keeping the high-quality bearing performance.
- Simplified maintenance: By reusing key roller components, maintenance becomes more efficient, the cost of stocking complete rollers is reduced and the total cost of ownership is minimized.
With the Temco ULX Exchangeable Deflection roller, nonwoven manufacturers can achieve greater reliability, lower costs, and improved machine efficiency, ensuring smoother production processes and a more sustainable approach to roller maintenance.
Temco components – always a good choice
All Temco Deflection rollers ULR and ULW are characterized by their low mass moment of inertia, particularly smooth operation, and maximum rotational speeds, due to their Temco integrated bearing technology. Thanks to lifetime lubrication, they are maintenance-free and minimize machine downtime, increasing productivity and reducing operating costs.
For the sensitive area of hygiene and food packaging, some special rollers comply with the regulations of the American FDA (Food and Drug Administration). The combination of high technical precision, long service life, and innovative bearing solutions meets the highest quality standards.
