Vail custom-formulates premium paper industry rolls for your most demanding applicationsThe tough ones do come to us. We custom-formulate in-house roll covers made from natural rubber, silicone, Viton, neoprene, nitrile, EPDM and SBR. Each compound is created to optimize your production runs in the chemicals, solvents, heat and abrasion you subject them to when making paper. Here are the roll cover products that will improve your papermaking processes: Process Roll Application
Vail Custom-Formulated Cover
Wire Rolls
Economical solution for wire guide and felt applications Excellent abrasion resistance and high modulus Excellent abrasion resistance Top-of-the-line elastomeric compound material with exceptional thermal stability; doctors well; excellent abrasion resistance and a high modulus Cylinder Couch
Specifically formulated for softer couch roll applications; resists caustic/harsh environments Extractor Couch
Chemically and thermally stable it has a high modulus and excellent abrasion resistance High modulus and excellent abrasion resistant; chemically stable and solvent resistant in most applications The formula of choice for long-term cylinder couch roll performance; offers superior abrasion resistance in wet processes Drive Rolls
Superior performance in high temperatures, it has a high modulus and abrasion resistance Compound of choice for drive positions; offers superior coefficient of friction for long-term performance Lumpbreaker
Excellent resistance to chemicals; delivers the sheet release the lumpbreaker position demands Premium compound for lumpbreaker positions; excellent sheet release characteristics Suction Press
Works well with most suction roll cover applications; resists most chemicals Abrasion resistance contributes to this roll cover's durability in demanding conditions A state-of-the-art formulation that withstands the demands in the press section Blind Drilled Press
Adapts to all forms of blind drilled pattern requirements Excellent chemical and abrasion resistance; maintains hardness Superior abrasion resistance Grooved Press
Maintains hardness and grooving integrity throughout its run cycles Formula of choice for most Venti-Nip applications Revolutionary formulation that offers the most advanced abrasion resistance in conventional elastomeric compounds Hard Press
Surface designed to release fiber and allow pitch-like substances to be removed easily Doctor with steel or composite doctor blades without fear of abrasion or scoring Excellent sheet release; performs exceptionally well where buildup occurs Soft Press
Excellent sheet release; excellent abrasion resistance; a dependable performer in top press applications Maintains hardness throughout its run cycles in demanding soft top press conditions The premier formulation for soft press applications; it’s so tough there’s minimal stock removal during regrinding Soft Size Press
Formulated for demanding (pivot) size presses and soft breaker stack positions Soft Breaker Stack
Impressive hardness stability that limits cover deformation in elevated temperatures Tough enough to handle applications where there is excessive heat in the nip Delivers an outstanding performance with excellent release; superior hardness stability in elevated temperatures and abrasion resistance Hard Size Press
Surface designed to release fiber and allow pitch-like substances to be removed easily Hard Breakerstack
The roll cover compound of choice in hard breakerstack positions where its long term performance can save you time and money Coater
Standard formulation; exhibits superior abrasion resistance; resists most chemicals Superior surface uniformity and abrasion resistance; excellent release Specifically formulated for high-heat applications; superior mechanical rebound characteristics Outstanding abrasion resistance, thermal stability; formulated for long-term performance Excellent compression resistance; much less susceptible to wad marks, dents and wrinkles Lead In/Lead Out
Outstanding sheet release properties Repels "stickies" and withstands alum solution sprays that make cleaning easier Optimizes performance in carrying roll positions; excellent release; easy to clean Dryer Felt
Formula of choice for dryer felt roll applications; optimizes dryer fabric life This resin composite compound material is also an excellent choice for dryer felt roll applications; extends fabric life under the dryer hood where temperatures reach 300 degrees F Reel Spool
Superior abrasion resistance; exceptionally resistant to cuts and tears Recommended for conditions where you need to conduct static electricity |
