B Flute Corrugated Rolls

High Speed Steam Heating B flute Corrugated Roller Tungsten Carbide Corrugating Rolls

1. Features of Tungsten Carbide Corrugating Roll

a. Tungsten carbide corrugated roller has excellent wear resistance and low flute height. Moreover, it will not reduce the compressive strength of the finished corrugated board. A more optimized v-shape flute profile can be designed to increase the strength of the cardboard, reduce the amount of the glue applied and save corrugated paper.

b. Tungsten carbide corrugated roller will never wear in theory, and can ensure the production of high quality finished corrugated board’s durability

c. The service life of tungsten carbide corrugated roller can reach at least 35 million meters, reducing the number of maintenance and replacement times, saving manpower, material and financial resources.

d. Tungsten carbide roller’s wear resistance is good, and it’s tungsten carbide coating adopts special removing process, so corrugated roller substrate can not be damaged, and corrugated roller can be used for many times with repairing.

2. Strict Selection High Quality Material

Good raw material is an important factor in high quality of corrugating roll. We select the best raw material manufacturer in China. With high strength and toughness, good hardenability, no obvious temper brittleness, 50CrMo alloy steel is specialized material for manufacturing corrugating rolls. Our raw material shell thickness is more than 70mm, the thicker shell can reduce deformation and keep stability during production.

3. Precision Welding Can Be Inseparable

Both ends of the roller body should be heated to release the size of the inner bored hole. After the spindle heads are put in, the roller body and the spindle heads should be held tightly after natural cooling. When everything is ready, a driving fit interface has been formed between the roller body and the spindle heads by means of preheating, welding or bolting. Special care should be taken when welding, because finished corrugated roller body’s temperature will rise constantly when the roller is running, and the roller body also bears pressure of the steam from the inside of the roller body, which will form the so-called “pressure vessel”. In view of this, the roller body and the spindle heads joint must pass the pressure test. When the welding process finished, the work piece shall be put into the furnace for high temperature tempering to reduce stress.

4.High Hardness from Vertical Quenching Process

Intermediate frequency quenching can guarantee both the hardness and harden depth we need. Our harden layer depth can reach to 8-12mm. With harder base material as foundation, the lifetime of our corrugating rolls are greatly extended. After different heat treatment process, the corrugated roller surface becomes more wear-resistant and durable. Some manufacturers groove their lower rollers before the rollers’ were harden, because it is relatively easy to work with soft materials. By this could cause problems in the later heating process for the rollers, which will make the hardness of the rollers change. After heating treatment we cut slots of lower roll though this process needs more time but makes uniform hardness.

5. Rigorous for Precise Grinding

After heat treatment and the cutting slots, the roller shall be put on high precision automatic CNC grinding machine to do finish grinding. Almost every set of corrugating rolls are needed to be designed and customized separately according to the width, diameter, flute height, corrugated paper GSM, speed and cardboard physical index requirement. The designed flute profile is copied on a costly diamond tool. When grinding wheel and diamond tool touch together, the flute profile is dressed on grinding wheel. By grinding wheel grind each flute several times until the accuracy is within our technical permitted requirement. The Siemens control system play a key role in guarantee the accuracy.

6.Durable from Supersonic Tungsten Carbide Spraying

Tungsten carbide corrugated roller producing technology is different traditional corrugated roll. Because of the particularity of tungsten carbide material, the requirement of the base material hardness is higher, flute profile before tungsten carbide spraying is more precise, which is needed to match the performance of tungsten carbide. Spraying technology is the key, which can ensure the hardness and binding force of tungsten carbide.Most advanced Praxair JP 8000 HVOF tungsten carbide spraying equipment and technology is adopted and Praxair 1342 super hard tungsten carbide powder is used for our corrugating roll. Before tungsten carbide spraying, we do sand blasting treatment on the surface which make rough surface to increase adhesion of tungsten carbide powder.

7.Repeatedly Polished, Smooth As a Mirror

Meijia adopts special polishing crafts, such as the corrugated rollers use America Praxair 1342VM series super hard tungsten carbide roller, special customized polishing wheel. With our company’s fully automatic CNC corrugated roller producing process’s special polishing machine and our independent grinding polishing technology R&D, the tungsten carbide roller’ s surface finish degree can reach Ra<0.6μm, which will improve the accuracy of the flute profile, and make sure the quality of the corrugated roller.
