Description

INOMETA’s lightweight, rigid, low-inertia carbon fiber roller cores are engineered and manufactured to a deliver long, smooth-running, vibration-free service life that far outlasts their rubber covers. When the worn covers need to be replaced they are mechanically stripped off the CFRP core. Only experienced tool operators are expert enough to remove the worn rubber covers from the cores of your inking and dampening rollers without damaging the structural integrity of the core. INOMETA’s PROTEK® 3341 is a red ceramic-reinforced composite based layer that protects the core from operator error. Today's changing printing and covering processes Printing and converting processes are evolving faster than ever before. And lightweight CFRP rollers have played a key role in energizing the speed and precision that today’s printing press OEMs and end-users alike have come to expect. And so have today’s rubber cover materials. Every mainstream printing and converting technology from high speed web offset to high quality gravure to twelve color flexo running multiple substrates has come to depend on both the core and the cover to be optimally tuned. Trouble is, while the carbon fiber core is impervious to the friction, heat, ink, corrosive solvents and other chemicals inherent in today’s high speed printing process, the rubber cover must be replaced. Carbon fiber core may be damaged during stripping process Even the highest quality rubber cover must be removed from the CFRP roller core and reapplied several times during the life of the press.
