Spreader Rollers

spreader roller application
Spreading elements feature an internal bearing and an application-dependent (rubber or silicone) contact surface to ensure even spreading regardless of material type or tension magnitude.

Rollmax rollers use a modular
system which allows easy and
inexpensive customization to
suit any application.

“Rollmax” spreader rollers are ideal for keeping web material taught for processing or rewinding. They are commonly used to solve wrinkling problems. The rollers feature a patented design which incorporates individually inclined, disc-shaped elements for spreading web material without introducing excessive tension on it.

 

Internal bearings allow each of these elements to rotate independently to allow even distribution of tension across the surface of the web.

Traditional spreader rollers can force too much tension on one area of the material, causing the material to tear or stretch. Having internal bearings inside each spreading element also makes the roller effective in spreading any material, regardless of the tension magnitude.


 

There are a variety of spreader element types that are recommended based on application parameters:
