Double E - The world leader in composite technology for the web handling industry manufactures a complete line of carbon fiber idler rollers...
...that out-perform traditional metal rollers.
Double E Rollers are light in weight and lower in inertia.
Less inertia means reduced web dragging and scratching, decreased web damage, more productivity and less waste especially during speed changes...
...startup and shutdown.
When comparing carbon-fiber to steel, the difference in inertia is tremendous.
It is virtually impossible to change the spinning speed of the steel roller without dragging.
It is quite easy to do this with a carbon fiber roller.
Even compared to aluminum the carbon fiber roller has far less inertia.
In addition, carbon fiber is stiffer than aluminum, a definite plus when running wide web widths.
Light Speed RollersĀ® can be made in diameters up to 48in. (122 cm) and in lengths up to 32 feet (9.75m).
The rollers are available with a variety of coatings suitable for any converting or packaging application.
As with all Double E products, Light Speed RollersĀ® are satisfaction guaranteed.
