RK Mill Roll

The NCCM RK Mill Roll is designed to be the world's best bridle roll and the top choice when large diameters, coefficient of friction, and long life are the major design criteria. The RK Mill Roll supplies the end-user with world-class coefficient of friction and roll life at a lower total cost in large roll diameters compared to other product offerrings.

The RK Mill Roll is a unique unified sleeve design, as opposed to laminated discs. This sleeve construction makes the RK Mill Roll the most durable non-woven roll on the market. The RK Mill Roll remains a premium bridle roll recognized for great, consistent, and long-lived coefficient of friction in some of the most demanding operations.

The RK Roll has shown that its coefficient of friction capabilities can reduce the number of bridle drives and rolls needed for new line designs. This can save captial associated with the considerable costs of bridle rolls in terms of floor space, capital equipment, roll costs and long-term maintenance costs.

Besides the great life and coefficient of friction, the RK Mill Roll also offers the traditional NCCM Mill Roll value factor of minimizing marking of the strip. All these factors have also made the RK Mill Roll a major success for large diameter deflector rolls (e.g., the exit end of push pull pickle lines before the recoiler).

They can make a significant contribution to increased productivity in the following ways:

More uptime
NCCM Mill Rolls can last significantly longer than rubber rolls, so they require changing less frequently, which can result in fewer unplanned stops.

Reduced maintenance cost
Because they are self-healing and resistant to cuts and gouges, NCCM Mill Rolls require fewer repairs than can rob you of productivity. When problems do occur, NCCM Mill Rolls are easily repaired, avoiding the cost of roll replacement.

Improved process quality and control
The uniform porosity of NCCM Mill Rolls, and their ability to maintain tight contact with the coil, makes thinner, more consistent coatings. And their high coefficient of friction reduces slippage and hydroplaning, for better material control.

Maintain integrity of process fluids
The compressibility and porosity of NCCM Mill Rolls allows them to conform to variations in gauge thickness and maintain consistently tight contact across the strip. This not only ensures uniform wringing, but has also demonstrated a significant reduction in carry-out of chemical from tank to tank.

Fewer defects on coil surface
Metal shards and debris can become trapped on the surface of rubber rolls, causing defects on the coil. The porous non-woven material of NCCM Mill Rolls tends to “pull” small particles into itself, where it is less likely to come into contact with the coil.

Lower energy costs
Because of their high coefficient of friction, the use of NCCM Mill Rolls can often eliminate the need for auxiliary motor -- while in most cases allowing faster line speeds and better tracking. And, because they provide through, uniform wringing, NCCM Mill Rolls can reduce or eliminate the need for mechanical drying in many applications.

Reduced chemical cost
By reducing carry-out and cross-contamination, NCCM Mill Rolls can help reduce your fluid consumption – and cut the cost of waste disposal.
