TurboRolls – Rolls with special advantages<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=\u00bb20″][mk_gallery images=\u00bb27597″ column=\u00bb1″ image_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb hover_scenarios=\u00bbslow_zoom\u00bb][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122053862{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]The quality requirements for paper products are constantly increasing. External profiling systems with correspondingly high energy consumption can be used to improve the cross-profile thickness. An alternative is the use of deflection or zone-controlled rolls. When optimising roll stack systems to minimise W-profile errors, specialised rolls are the cost-efficient means of choice. These enable local profile corrections to be made in addition to the normal deflection control.<\/p>\n

Almost 60 years have passed since the first use of deflection-controlled rolls in the paper industry in 1961. The use of paper machines more than 8m wide and the production of more than 1km of paper per minute (i.e. 8000 m\u00b2 – enough to cover 2 football pitches) would be unthinkable without this invention. Paper and cardboard are now more than ever a consumable item.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606378891841{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]\n

Deflection-controlled rolls \u2013 the so-called \u201cSwimming Rolls\u201d<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606124509816{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]The working of the deflection-controlled roll is quickly explained. A fixed shaft, a roll shell and spherical roller bearings between the shaft and the shell. In addition, face seals at both ends of the shaft and longitudinal seals between the face seals – and the rotating shell is divided into two chambers. Oil is introduced into the pressure chamber to influence the shell deformation. This oil pressure is controlled by the differential pressure regulator, which also feeds oil into the second chamber. From this chamber the oil flows back out of the roll almost without pressure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122165515{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]The deflection of the roll shell can be determined by the pressure difference between the two chambers, and the fixing of the shell at both ends. Et voila – the design that replaced the fixed crowned rolls and made line-load dependent roll crowning superfluous was invented. Of course, this sounds much easier than what was needed back then to convince the paper industry about the new roll design.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][mk_gallery images=\u00bb27649″ column=\u00bb1″ image_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb hover_scenarios=\u00bbslow_zoom\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122191084{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]Much time has passed since the first days of the \u00abswimming roll\u201d. All components in the paper machine have been improved and optimised, including deflection-controlled rolls. Initially, the focus was on what was technically feasible, but today economic efficiency plays an important role in the selection of the appropriate tool.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122226556{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]Over the years, Bellmer has constantly adapted its own rolls to new customer requirements, improved existing roll types and thus continuously expanded its roll system. The cornerstones are the TurboRoll CC (a deflection-controlled roll) and the TurboRoll MZ Pro (a zone-controlled roll for fine profiling).[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606124714824{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]The variety of situation-specific solutions that Bellmer offers today is impressive.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][mk_gallery images=\u00bb27702″ column=\u00bb1″ image_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb hover_scenarios=\u00bbnone\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=\u00bb20″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606378909014{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]\n

So that the \u00abW\u00bb is no longer a problem \u2013 the optimized roll design<\/h2>\n

The deflection-controlled roll with a pressure chamber permits large web widths, while the zone-controlled rolls additionally provide better sheet profiling in the cross-web direction. Both types of roll still have their justification today, especially with regard to their cost-efficiency. However, the deflection-controlled roll with a pressure chamber has a physical weakness that is more significant today – the W-profile error.<\/p>\n

Let us first define this error. We consider a pair of rolls consisting of a deflection-controlled roll and a counter roll. Even with ideal internal pressure, there is a deformation difference between the two rolls. This is known under the technical term \u00abW-profile error\u00bb.<\/p>\n

The difference in deformation of each roll is a result of the different bending behaviour and the respective shell deformation (ovalisation \/ flattening) of the rolls. The roll shell deformation has a much greater influence on the W profile error than the difference in bending behaviour. Simply equalising the bearing centre dimensions, which according to the theoretical deflection curve should result in identical deformation behaviour, is therefore not sufficient to significantly reduce the W profile error. Since the shell deformation has a different curve characteristic to that of the deflection curve, the resulting error cannot be eliminated by adjusting the internal roll pressure. It can only be reduced.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606126181251{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]The following diagram demonstrates the course of the error of the deflection compensation roll as a result of the shell deformation. This is counteracted by a deflection curve difference between the two rolls in the opposite direction (which is ideally adjusted by changing the internal pressure of the roll). This results in the total error (W profile error) of the line load deviation, which is similar in shape to a \u00abW\u00bb.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122408294{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]With increasing requirements on CD profiles and the significantly improved possibilities in the run-up before the calender (head-box, dewatering, press and dryer sections offer a higher potential than 10 years ago), there is today an increasing need to eliminate this error in order to avoid profile deterioration during calendering.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb27663″ img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb add_caption=\u00bbyes\u00bb onclick=\u00bblink_image\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606125804984{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]\n

The TurboRoll CC Pro – an economical, effective and groundbreaking solution for improving the sheet cross profile.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606125597464{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]Rolls with support piston elements, such as our TurboRoll CC Pro, provide the solution to this problem. The supporting elements are fitted in the correct positions, and depending on the differential pressure, local corrections can be then applied. This flattens the deformation process of the shell in cross direction and the error can be better compensated by increasing the internal pressure of the roll. The curves of shell deformation and difference in deflection between the mating roll and the deflection-controlled roll become much more similar in terms of shape behaviour with the elements installed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb27667″ img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb add_caption=\u00bbyes\u00bb onclick=\u00bblink_image\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606122525373{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]Another solution attempt would be to extend the shell of the deflection controlled roll in length. Unfortunately, this solution has limited effectiveness. Although the shell deformation is reduced in terms of amount, increasing the internal roll pressure will still not sufficiently compensate this deformation, due to the shape progression. This measure also requires an increase in the distance between the roller bearings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u00bb1\/2″][vc_single_image image=\u00bb27671″ img_size=\u00bbfull\u00bb add_caption=\u00bbyes\u00bb onclick=\u00bblink_image\u00bb][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=\u00bb.vc_custom_1606126731054{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}\u00bb]In a direct comparison, the following deviations in the average line load are seen for the above example of a roll of about 5 m working width<\/p>\n
