Valmet Calender Roll Cover CPU

Soft calender roll cover

e bulk saving soft Valmet Calender
Roll Cover CPU provides a long nip.
It is durable enough to withstand
medium calender loads and speeds.
e cover has been designed for spe-
cial soft calendering processes.

Applications hand-held washer or oscillating high pressure shower

Ÿ Calender DC rolls
Cleaning
Washing with plain or soapy water or a sodium
hydroxide solution is recommended. e cover may be
wiped clean with an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent. A
may also be used. e maximum pressure allowed,
from a distance of 100 mm (4") or more and with a
dispersing nozzle, is 6 MPa (60 bar/870 psi) if the
cover is soer than 15 P&J, or 8 MPa (80 bar/1,160
psi) for harder covers.
