40-54 Smith Roll Tightness Tester
  • INTRODUCTION

    The Smith Roll Tightness Tester determines roll winding uniformity to eliminate roll bursting and press breakdown from poorly wound rolls.

    Paper Rolls not wound with uniform tension can cause a variety of problems. Large diameter rolls that are extremely tight on the outside tend to burst during handling and shipping. Uneven roll tightness often results in starring- the warping of the winding core. On highspeed web presses, the warped core causes uneven feed and paper jerking and can cause the breakdown of the press.
