Reel drum covers for board and paper making

Flexible and durable reel drum covers for reeling

Optimal contact between roll and paper and specialized grooving are essential for producing high-quality paper reels with good reel build-up. Valmet has the perfect solution, available with either a soft roll cover or hard coating to suit the paper grade and operating conditions.

Smooth and dense paper grades such as coated and calendered grades require a strong and compliant cover on the reel drum to eliminate air and crepe wrinkles, corrugation and markings on the web. This is crucial especially when operating a paper machine at higher speeds. With a roll cover flexible enough to maintain good reel build-up and durable enough to tolerate high speeds and profile variations, high production and excellent product quality can be achieved.

Valmet Reel Drum Cover for reel spools and reel drums help you accomplish longer running times and maintenance intervals for trouble-free production of high-quality board and paper.
