Microporous turning bars
Gentle deflecting and turning
Printum’s microporous turning bars are used for contact-free guiding, deflecting, turning and transporting particularly sensitive material webs made of film, paper or metal.
Scratch-sensitive, fragile and self-adhesive roll goods cannot be guided over standard rollers, but must be guided without contact. Our microporous turning bars create a homogeneous air cushion over which your web will float without contact.
Advantages
Gentle on materials and efficient.
- Drastically reduced compressed air consumption ➔ compared to drilled rods
- Correspondingly almost noiseless
- No heat development on the surface, as there is no contact
- No chemical non-stick agents necessary
- Easy integration even in tight installation spaces and in applications such as the multilayer kit or our reversing crosses.
