Banana Roller

A curved cylindrical roller known as a "banana roller" operates specifically as a banana-shaped anneal that provides better material packaging and tension control for web processing and converting applications. This specialised roller solution lends itself to prominence and subsequent performance in printing, packaging, textile, and film processing applications where the ability to control the path of the material precisely and eliminate wrinkles and folds is crucial to maintaining product quality and process efficiency. The basic applications of banana rollers include web steering in printing presses, tension control in coating lines, and material handling in slitting and rewinding operations, amongst other applications – all without damaging the subsequent materials or introducing web instability. The cherry roller design includes precision-machined curved profiles, balanced pulley construction geometry, and appropriate surface finish geometry, all of which assist in consistent smooth material traverse and web steering performance. Additionally, banana rollers are produced using today's advanced manufacturing techniques and are adept at applying controlled horizontal forces and introducing effective wrinkle release while maintaining gentle contact with substrates such as films, foils, and lightweight papers. Banana rollers also have positional mounting configurations allowing flexibility in roller position and contact angles to address differing widths of materials and variations in material characteristics, which minimises setup time. Lastly, curvature specifications, surface treatments, and roller sizing can all be customised based on material design properties to achieve the best web handling performance.
