Product Details


         Three Roll Calender

High Precision · High Efficiency · Strong Stability

I. Product Description

The three-roll calender is a plastic or rubber product processing equipment that applies pressure between two top rolls and one bottom roll to precisely control the final product's thickness and width through calendering. This equipment offers high processing efficiency and precision, making it a key piece of equipment in plastic and rubber product manufacturing.

Working Principle: The three-roll calender drives the upper, middle, and lower rolls to rotate simultaneously via a transmission device. The material is squeezed and stretched in the gap between the rolls, forming sheets or films of the required thickness and width. By adjusting the roll gap, temperature, and speed, the product's dimensions and properties can be precisely controlled.

Main Components:

Upper Roll, Middle Roll, Lower Roll: Core working components, typically made of high-strength alloy steel, with surfaces precision ground and chrome-plated.

Transmission Device: Includes motor, reducer, gearbox, etc., providing stable power.

Lubrication System: Ensures lubrication and heat dissipation during normal operation.

Temperature Control System: Precisely controls roll temperature to suit different material processing needs.

Adjustment Device: Used for precise adjustment of the roll gap.

Electrical Control System: PLC control for automated operation.

II. Equipment Advantages (Core Selling Points)

High Precision Control: Utilizes precision adjustment devices and advanced control systems, product thickness tolerance can be controlled within ±0.01mm.

High Production Efficiency: The three-roll design optimizes material flow path, improving production speed and efficiency.

Strong Stability: Robust frame structure and precision manufacturing ensure long-term stable operation.

High Adaptability: Can process various plastic and rubber materials, including PVC, PE, PP, EPDM, etc.

Easy Operation: User-friendly human-machine interface and automated control system reduce operational difficulty.

Energy Saving and Environmental Protection: Optimized transmission design and temperature control system reduce energy consumption.

Turnkey Service: We provide a full set of turnkey engineering services from equipment design, manufacturing, installation, commissioning to personnel training, ensuring customers can quickly start production and achieve expected results. Includes process formula optimization, production line layout design, operator training, and comprehensive support.
