H.impress Embossing Back-up Roll Cover
All-time Service Life Record with Outstanding Embossing Quality
SchäferRolls roll covers deliver higher cost efficiency and increased machine output in tissue embossing line.

Our customer, one of Europe’s leading manufacturers of tissue paper products, set clear goals for one of its Swedish production sites: maximize efficiency in the tissue converting line by extending the service life of embossing back-up roll covers and significantly increasing machine speed.

We took on the challenge with H.impress, our high-performance embossing back-up roll cover for premium tissue embossing. Designed for exceptional resilience, elasticity, impact resistance, and minimal heat buildup, H.impress perfectly combines the key performance characteristics needed to meet the customer’s production targets.

Our Promise: H.impress ensures optimal adaptation to the embossing roll design, delivering consistent embossing quality — even at high machine speeds.

Proven results: With H.impress, the customer successfully increased the machine speed from 450 m/min to 700 m/min, resulting in a significant boost in production output. Despite the demanding embossing pattern, the roll cover ensured consistently high embossing quality throughout the process.

The improved temperature profile of the embossing back-up roll cover enabled smooth and stable machine operation, ultimately achieving an all-time service life record of well over two years.

Lower operating costs, higher production efficiency, and reliable product quality – for this customer, H.impress is a game-changer: “Definitely the best roll cover we’ve ever used!”
