Metal Processing

Benefits

In summary, Viledon rolls have the following performance and operational benefits.

Viledon Benefits

  • Superior wringing effect for both aqueous and oily liquids
  • Thin and uniform liquid coating on the metal surface
  • Cleaning effect - efficient and permanent absorption of impurities from the substrate surface
  • Excellent coefficient of friction even under wet or oily conditions - no stick-slip effect
  • Excellent resistance to mechanical load and damage - self-healing of small cuts or damages
  • Viledon rolls can be reground to remove unusual surface damage
  • Viledon rolls can be recovered many times

Operational Benefits

  • Lower consumption of processing liquids
  • Energy cost savings in drying processes
  • Less substrate damages (e.g. scratches), less contamination of processing liquids
  • Increased line speed, higher production efficiency
  • Prolonged roll cover service intervals and increased lifetime resulting in: Reduced maintenance costs and improved machinery utilisation
