Fibrillating Rollers

Retrofitte  with Pin Tools and Parts
"We are the leading provider of fibrillating equipment-our innovative and tailor-made solutions increase customers advantage in a Competitive industruy."

Tailor-Made for the Fibrillating Industry
A high quality level and long life-time is essential for Fibrillating tools. Pins are ideal for cutting oriented polymer tapes. Thanks to constant innovation and improvement the effciency and reliability of tools has increased. This has made us suppliers to all leading machinery makers and their direct customers, both using our products for their individual applications.
Development and Consulting
New applications and materials are increasing the demand for Fibrillating equipment. Together with our customer we analyze the parameters of a new application in order to match their requirements and to achieve the material quality to be processed. Consequently the productivity, tape quality and lifetime of the needle bars are increased. In addition to process optimization, we can offer engineering to add Fibrillation capability to existing tape lines.
Fibrillated films and tapes have many advantages

• Simple processing
• Cost-effcient production
• Higher flexibility
• Higher elasticity
• Very good tear strength
• Better abrasion resistance

Original Equipment and Retrofitted Roller

Our new development is Retrofited Roller. generally, fibrillating roller having a not long life due to fibrillating material properties. they must have been changed after some life cycle. but our new innovation and compact construction of the roller allows a retrofit into an existing system as well. Optimal flexibility of the fibrillating roller is granted and needle bars can be exchanged directly on the production unit without dismounting the roller.

Fibrillated tapes are used in many products and applications:

• Carpet backing
• Artificial Grass, Synthetic Turf
• Ropes, Cords, Sewing Yarn
• Harvest Yarns
• Packaging Cords
• Concrete Fibers
• Carrying Ropes
• Tapes for woven Big Bags (FIBC)
• Staple Fibers (PTFE)

Technical Possibilities

• R.K`s fibrillating rollers offer various alternatives to meet customer’s needs.
• Fibrillating roller of steel for higher needle bar density
• Hard chromium plated Fibrillating roller for longer life-time.

Fibrillating bars (spares for rollers) offer various possibilities:

• Maximum pin density up to 32 pins/cm
• Staggered arrangement of the bars improves tear resistance of fibrillated tapes
• Pin projection ranges from approx. 0.5 - 3 mm (standard 1 - 2 mm)
• The pins can be arranged in several rows. To increase lifetime, stronger pins can be used
• To minimize down-time, the needle bars can be exchanged without dismounting the fibrillating roller
• Different pin inclination can be chosen, to adapt to the material characteristics 
• Fibrillating bars made of coated steel for longer life-time.
