Xerium Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:XRM), a leading global
manufacturer of industrial textiles and rolls used primarily in the
paper production process, today announced full commercial
availability of a technologically advanced new series of roll cover
products designed for improved machine performance, better wear and
longer, more efficient product life. The latest range of patented
roll cover products are designed to reduce operational costs and
maximize the output of existing equipment, while enhancing product
customization capabilities for each individual customer.
“These latest technological advancements in our rolls business
mirror what we’ve been doing in our clothing business, as we push
hard to offer the greatest range of innovation in the marketplace,”
said Stephen R. Light, President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman. “We are working closely with our customers to enhance
their operating efficiencies and quality, while significantly
lowering their cost of operation and inventories.”
The latest family of roll cover products from Xerium
includes:
GEMINI: Gemini’s increased fiber fraction and
nanoparticle technology deliver exponential increased toughness and
durability for the most demanding calendaring applications, while
still maintaining superior surface finish. New Gemini nanoparticle
covers feature the most advanced technology available for today’s
high performance calendars and supercalendars. With significantly
more high strength fiber reinforcement per cover surface area,
Gemini covers are extremely tough and have already demonstrated
superior performance in the most demanding calendar
applications.
GENESIS: The Genesis cover design family with
nanoparticle technology delivers toughness and durability in the
most demanding supercalendar and soft calendar applications, while
maintaining superior surface finish. Genesis has the industry’s
best fracture toughness, impact resistance and exceptional abrasion
resistance Utilizing Stowe Woodward’s exclusive Thermaguard™ base,
Genesis provides the ultimate temperature consistency across the
cover face. This consistency, combined with the improved toughness,
gives calendar operators excellent runnability, efficiency, and
improved paper quality.
REBEL: Rebel is an exclusive new generation of
polyurethane covers for maximum tissue machine performance.
Available in a wide hardness range and all venting combinations of
suction, blind drilled and grooved, Rebel pressure roll covers
provide superior nip conditions for tissue quality and machine
efficiency. The excellent hardness stability of Rebel’s unique
polyurethane chemistry assures a uniform Yankee/Pressure Roll nip
over the life of the cover that is not typically achievable with
rubber covers.
XTREME SERIES: Developed by Stowe Woodward’s global
research and product engineering team, Xtreme covers are high
strength, extremely tough rubber materials that are cool running
and maintain very stable nip conditions. Xtreme technology is
tailored to specific cover application requirements to provide
superior machine efficiency and sheet quality. Designed
specifically for hardness stability, toughness, bond strength, and
nip uniformity, Xtreme TS and Hyperpress X roll covers provide
superior running conditions and long life in both conventional and
TAD pressure roll applications.
Xtreme TS is the company’s best overall
performance rubber cover, combining the highest bond strength with
outstanding hardness stability, abrasion resistance and damage
tolerance. This long-life cover runs extremely cool and maintains a
very stable nip environment which makes it very tolerant of loading
bias and localized overloads.
Hyperpress X is designed specifically for
hardness stability using both unique material science and specific
manufacturing methods. Using Stowe Woodward’s superior co-cured
bonding systems and maintaining high material strength, Hyperpress
X is a very tough cover tolerant of loading bias and localized
overloads.
