Crescent Former Roll

Crescent Former Roll

The crescent former roll positioned at the heart of the Crescent Former tissue machine, our High-Performance Crescent Former Roll is engineered to master intense centrifugal dewatering while securing perfect sheet formation. Operating at the convergence of the forming fabric and press felt, this roll handles the continuous high-velocity slurry jet from the headbox. Built from heavy-wall solid stainless steel or forged structural alloys with specialized drilled or grooved surface topologies, our Crescent Former Roll delivers maximum water extraction, zero web turbulence, and whisper-quiet stability at operating speeds up to 2200m/min.

Key Features

Rapid Centrifugual Dewatering Efficiency: Precision open-area surface design accelerates water evacuation driven by high-speed centrifugal force without disturbing delicate tissue web formation.

Extreme Mechanical Rigidity & Low Deflection: Manufactured from heavy-wall duplex stainless steel or forged alloy shells to resist bending under immense fabric-and-felt tension loads.

Impermeable Corrosion & Chemical ResistanceAvailable in solid SS304/SS316L/Duplex 2205 or coated with high-wear synthetic rubber/polyurethane covers built for continuous hot wet-end environments.

Non-marking & Fabric Preservation: Micro-ground surface concentricity and deburred drainage openings protect expensive forming fabrics and press felts from localized wear.
