The training seminar should be performed at the mill with the maintenance personnel, and those who daily operate
the suction rolls, so that they understand the suction roll's function, and how it should be operated. A check of
individual suction rolls can be performed at the mill as each suction roll is disassembled, or in conjunction with a
service shop rebuilding the rolls.
Here are some examples of the topics covered:
What a suction roll does, and how it works.
How to achieve maximum vacuum from proper use of showers and seals.
How to minimize the horsepower required to drive the roll.
How to determine if the shell is wearing too fast, and how to prevent it.
How to prevent many suction roll rubber or polyurethane cover failures.
How to extend the life of suction roll seals, and properly install end deckles.
Inspection of bore profile and shell condition.
Check of air load pressure required for full vacuum.
Check of showers, seals and horsepower consumption.
Calculation of proper seal heights to match the shell I/D.
Coldwater Seals offers an one-day suction roll efficiency training seminar, and an on-going efficiency
inspection of suction rolls. For more information or to schedule a seminar, call toll free 1-877-344-0314.
