It is possible to consistently produce heat transfer circulation rolls, which are essential for film manufacturing and lamination processing lines, from iron core production to surface treatment.
A preheating and cooling roll is a roll that manages the surface temperature by circulating a heat medium such as water or oil inside the roll, serving the purpose of heating or cooling substrates like films and sheets. There are different internal structures, including single-tube type, double-tube type, and triple-tube type. The single-tube type has a hollow interior, and depending on whether the inlet and outlet are the same or different, it uses either a single or double rotary joint. While the single-tube type is cheaper to manufacture due to its simple structure, it has the drawback that as the roll size increases, it requires more heat medium for preheating and cooling, and the heat medium tends to stagnate, leading to uneven surface temperatures. The double-tube and triple-tube types have an internal tube placed inside the outer cylindrical pipe of the roll, allowing the heat medium to flow through the gaps between the pipes. This structure can limit the amount of heat medium to the flow paths, and since the heat medium flows through the gap between the outer and inner tubes, it can efficiently preheat and cool with less variation in surface temperature. If the inlet and outlet are different, it is structured as a double-tube type; if they are the same, it is structured as a triple-tube type.
