Floating Roll

Description of Floating Roll
A carbon fiber floating roll is a type of roll used in various industrial applications, particularly in conveying and material handling, where its lightweight and strong properties are advantageous. These rolls utilize carbon fiber composite materials for their construction, offering a combination of high strength, low weight, and resistance to corrosion.

The floating roll in high-speed slitting machines mainly serve the following functions
(1). The floating roll ensures that the speed of each section of the conveyor line remains coordinated, preventing the stacking or stretching caused by the uncoordinated speed of the front and rear end conveyor lines.
(2). The floating roll through its vertical movement mode, can form a constant tension on the material, improving the cutting accuracy and stability of the material.(3). The floating roll can alleviate the material swing and increase the working speed through the constant tension control system.

Floating Roll Specifications
(1). Shell material: CFRP (Carbon Fibre-reinforced Polymer)
(2). Floating roll surface treatment: EMDP, NBR, Hypalon rubber covered
(3). Maximum length: 13000mm
(4). Maximum speed: 2000m/min

Floating Roll Advantages
(1). Improved Stability: Floating roll have low inertial forces, which allows them to maintain stability even at higher speeds compared to steel or aluminum rolls.
(2). Higher Speeds: Due to their low inertial forces, floating roll can reach higher speeds, resulting in a more efficient rolling process.
(3). Reduced Stresses: Floating roll reduce stresses on motors and bearings, leading to increased life and efficiency.
(4). Light weight: Floating roll are significantly lighter than steel rollers, reducing handling and safety issues during changeovers.
(5). Energy Efficiency: The lightweight nature of floating roll reduces energy consumption.
(6). Faster Acceleration: Floating roll can speed up significantly faster than steel rolls.
