Simple Air Roll to Elastic Cooling Roll

Simple Air Roll to Elastic Cooling Roll

 Air roll was developed about 20 years ago.
It was very simple structure.  The outside is a metal sleeve and inside air pressure is kept.
It has metal surface, yet possess elasticity like rubber.
Test unit to compare  "rigid cooling roll (front)" and
"elastic cooling roll  with a chiller (back)"
However, requirements are getting higher and more difficult in production of plastic sheets and films now.  
To this needs DYMCO succeeded to set a rubber roll inside the metal sleeve so that the air roll can stand different pressure.

Popular rigid rolls, their thickness is 7 to 8mm, very thick.
The metal sleeve thickness of our elastic rolls is only 0.2 to 0.3mm.
Thin surface brings superior heat transfer efficiency.
Also with nipping by thin metal, contact surface between the roll and film becomes wider.
All these contribute to cooling efficiency.  
We see a possibility that the cooling line becomes shorter.
