Suction roll components
Sealing strips & end deckles made of rubber graphite
For the increasing demands of modern suction rolls. Made to your drawing, from one piece.
Why flexible rubber graphite
Flexible rubber graphite seals are designed to reduce the thermal bow in the shell that occurs with stiffer materials, which leads to higher drag loads and shorter seal life. The seals limit dry contact with the shell, so they run longer and quieter with less friction.
The design also addresses the brittleness and breakage problems associated with other rubber graphite seal and end deckle materials, and is intended to protect the roll shell.
- Low noise and quick wear-in
- Low coefficient of friction to reduce energy consumption
- Run times of up to two years or longer can be achieved with a custom fitting program, depending on operating conditions
- Designed for breakage-free handling
