Non-woven rolls generally can be pressed from loose discs or with prefabricated bonded sleeves. The sleeves are either mounted directly on steel cores at FKM or by partners at the customer’s site. The increase in mechanical strength and the logistical advantages offered make production and assembly of sleeves increasingly important for FKM. For this reason, FKM has designed a new roll press that is particularly suitable for pressing non-woven sleeves or producing smaller non-woven rolls. The new design is characterized by hydraulic cylinders with a long stroke that makes work much easier and faster than on FKM’s older presses.
Two presses were built and put into operation in Duisburg in accordance with the new plans. One of the two presses was prepared for sea transport in February 2021 and shipped to our FKM USA plant.
