Case Study: Innovative Solutions for Bowed/Banana Rollers in Key Industries
Background
Rubber Engineering Africa identified the need for better performance in bowed/banana rollers used in paper mills, packaging, textile and fishing industries. Traditional rollers faced high wear, water damage, and poor sealing, causing frequent maintenance, downtime, and increased costs.
Challenges
Durability - Rollers experienced high wear and tear rate, especially in demanding environments.
Water Resistance - Rollers in the fishing, textile industries and specific paper mill applications were prone to water damage and contaminants, diminishing their lifespan and efficiency.Innovative Solutions
Rubber Engineering Africa introduced a series of advanced concepts to address these challenges:
Double Bearings per Bobbin - were incorporated to achieve greater stability and longevity, significantly reducing wear and tear.
Waterproof Seals - Implemented to protect the bearings from water infiltration, enabling consistent performance in wet environments.
Special Sealing System - installed at the ends of rollers, preventing contamination which enhanced it’s overall durability and efficiency.
High-Quality Rubber Covering - used in unique applications requiring extra protection against abrasion and environmental factors.Product Impact
