Metso: New PressHusky & VacuHusky polyurethane roll covers

摘要

Metso has launched polyurethane roll covers for tissue machine press and suction press rolls. The new PressHusky and VacuHusky roll covers are designed especially for Yankee press applications widely used in dry crepe tissue production. As an option, a Metso iRoll online nip profile measuring system can be applied with these new roll covers. The polyurethane material of PressHusky and VacuHusky covers offers several hardness alternatives and more options for cover topography, which results in maximized dewatering and the desired tissue quality with high bulkiness and thickness. According to Metso, PressHusky and VacuHusky covers also provide lowered operating costs due to the reduced need for regrind-ing. Their low rolling resistance creates energy savings thanks to reduced roll drive power.
