- Printing:
- Complete flexo unit (pneumatic and hydraulic adapters, shafts, anilox, doctor blade chambers)
- Ink rollers and dampening rollers (offset)
- Guide rollers…
- Films: manufacture and cutting of plastic films, application of coatings and processing into bags (guide rollers…)
- Textile fabrics: Rollers for non-woven and technical fabrics production lines
- Electronics: manufacture of printed circuits (PCBs) and flat screens
- Conveyor rollers
- Guide rollers…
Technical composite rollers: a superior alternative to traditional solutions
Lighter and stiffer than traditional metal solutions, our rollers will allow better productivity of your machines: they will be able to operate at higher speed and/or be wider. Thanks to a stiffness up to 2 times higher than steel, carbon rollers can run at high speed without risk of vibration and with less deformation, thus maintaining an optimal production quality.
