Roller coverings for the tissue industry
Tissue paper is one of the most widely used products worldwide, and its demand is constantly growing. As quality standards evolve, products now include features such as patterned decoration, increased softness, fragrances, and improved strength. These demands have also raised the technical requirements for rubber-coated rollers used in the production process.
A key stage in tissue paper manufacturing is the converting process, which involves transforming the base paper (jumbo roll) into final products such as toilet paper, napkins, tissues, or kitchen rolls. This phase includes operations like embossing, cutting, laminating, sizing, and winding, requiring maximum precision and stability to ensure excellent finished product quality.
At Gomplast, we are experts in high-quality rubber coatings specifically designed to meet the challenges of converting in the tissue industry. Our products, ROLFLEX, ROLSTAR, and ROLPRESS, are developed to perform under the most demanding conditions, guaranteeing consistent performance, maximum durability, and exceptional quality
KEY POINTS OF CONVERTING IN THE TISSUE INDUSTRY
High-Speed Stability
Converting lines operate at very high speeds. Rollers and coverings must maintain consistent performance without causing vibrations, deviations, or defects in the final product.
Roller Durability
Using coverings with high mechanical and chemical resistance extends the rollers' service life, reduces wear, and decreases unplanned downtime, thereby improving converting efficiency.
Dimensional Precision
Precision in the diameter and geometry of rollers ensures uniform application of pressure, adhesive, or ink, resulting in products with better finish and less waste.
Compatibility with Adhesives and Inks
Coatings must be compatible with water-based adhesives and inks, preventing buildup, clogging, or contamination. This ensures efficient transfer and easier cleaning.
Adaptability to New Designs
The constant evolution of the market demands flexible solutions. Customized rollers allow the incorporation of new finishes without the need to modify the production line.
Optimization of Material Consumption
Efficient converting reduces basis weight, adhesive consumption, and optimizes product format, improving profitability and sustainability.
