ECONOMIC BENEFITS
  • Higher line productivity
  • Visible quality improvements
  • Higher strip speeds
  • Considerably longer roll life
  • Less downtime of line
  • Much lower maintenance expenditure
  • Low set-up costs
  • Less Scrap
  • Substantial overall cost savings
TECHNICAL BENEFITS
  • Extremely Shear resistant and elastic surface
  • Roll surface cannot be destroyed by distortion
  • High nip pressure reserves, therefore no danger of burning or destroying the roll covering by strip buckles or twisting
  • Roll surface does not become glazed, like rubber, polyurethane, or similar coated rolls
  • Constant, extremely high friction values to achieve high tension and precise steering control
  • No hydroplaning
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
  • Carry-over in wringing/squeezing applications will be  greatly reduced.
  • Time between replacement of the cleaning and rinsing solutions, such as demineralized water, acids, and alkalis are substantially Longer.
  • Up to 50% lower oil consumption due to more uniform oiling or more effective    de-oiling
  • Much lower costs for disposal of liquids
  • Cleaner line
WHAT ARE NON-WOVEN MILL ROLLS
  • Millions of nylon fibers are extruded into a chamber and blown into the air so they lay randomly. 
  • This then forms a carpet of material that is coated with certain binders to protect the fibers from different environments. 
  • Discs are cut out, compacted, and assembled on a  shaft using flexible resins. 
  • These resins are made to be resistant to erosion, flexable and porourus, resistant to impacts and cuts.
  • Because of the way the rolls are manufactured and designed, they are what the industry calls, " Self Healing".
    • - This means that when the sharp edges and occasional small burrs come through the roll, causing small cuts, the roll is able to repair itself.

ADVANTAGES OF APT PREMIUM RED MILL ROLLS
  • BETTER FLUID CONTROL
  • HIGH FRICTION RATE
  • DOES NOT MARK OR LEAVE DIRT ON THE SURFACE
  • CLEANING AND SELF-CLEANING
  • LONG LIFE
  • EASY TO REPAIR
In the picture above, the yellow circle is the APT POLYSPUN Mill Roll, the P (in the blue arrow pointing down is for pressure)is the shaft going through the mill roll and applying pressure evenly on either side, down on the strip or plate. The strip is running from right to left. The mill roll's job is to keep the brown fluid on the right side of the roll and level the left side dry.


HOW IT WORKS!
#1 - The porous cover absorbs part of the fluid reducing the hydraulic pressure.
#2 - Porous surface absorbs the fluid, like a sponge when the pressure decreases
#3&4 - When the cover is compressed again, it gives off     the absorbed fluid.
