Endurance for Peak Performance
Double Service Life and Excellent Sheet Control:
SchäferRolls Coater Backing Roll Covers Significantly Boost Production Performance.

The brief from our Swedish customer, a manufacturer of coated board and liner, was clear: the coater backing roll covers needed to deliver a significantly longer service life while ensuring consistent, reliable operating conditions in the offline coater.

Our Solution: a coater backing roll equipped with the SchäferRolls U.coat5 roll cover. With exceptional dimensional stability and maximum wear resistance, this cover laid the foundation to reliably and efficiently achieve the production goals set by our customer.

Coater Backing Roll Cover U.coat 5

Our Promise: the U.coat 5 roll cover guarantees double service life and excellent sheet control.

From the very first use, U.coat5 demonstrated its strengths: the change interval of the coater backing roll cover increased from less than 1,000 hours to 1,700 hours – a clear efficiency gain. The significantly higher wear resistance noticeably reduced edge wear, while the excellent dimensional stability ensured uniform coating quality and wrinkle-free sheet travel – the perfect basis for peak coater performance.

Thanks to the extended service life and consistently stable operating conditions, maintenance-related downtime was significantly reduced.

The Result: U.coat 5 sustainably improved the offline coater’s efficiency, securing long-term production performance for our customer.

Key Results:

Increased cover service life from under 1,000 hours to over 1,700 hours
Excellent coating quality and wrinkle-free sheet travel due to outstanding dimensional stability
Significantly reduced edge wear thanks to high wear resistance
