Roll-Kraft Develops New Product Design


Roll-Kraft has developed a new product design that will be of benefit to the tube & pipe and roll forming industry worldwide. Companies that manufacture products using these methods have constantly been plagued by the ever-present problem of surface markings that show up during the production process. Markings can be caused for many reasons, but are usually the result of poor roll design or a mill that is out of alignment.

Roll-Kraft has designed a method to eliminate marking caused by speed differences between the throat diameter and overall roll diameters. The new bearingless floating flange roll design, developed by the engineers at Roll-Kraft, is guaranteed to improve the appearance of roll formed products, as well as tube and pipe. The improvement in the appearance is unmistakable.

This design advancement works very well in a variety of applications: large diameter tube sizes, heavy gauges, specialty materials, and, of course, cold-roll materials. The ease of use will help make marking problems a thing of the past. Contact Roll-Kraft for more information on this design.

Roll-Kraft has its headquarters in Mentor, Ohio, and maintains offices in Frankfurt, Illinois (Roll-Kraft Northern) and Brampton, Ontario, Canada (Roll-Kraft Ltd.). We can be reached by phone at 440-205-3100, or fax at 440- 205-3110. Please also visit our web site at www.roll-kraft.com.
