Microporous Turning Bar

Non-contact guidance of sensitive materials.

Non-contact web handling

Gentle web turning and deflection

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

Our alternative to drilled deflection rods

  • Drastically reduced pressurized air consumption ➔ compared to drilled turning bars
  • Correspondingly almost noiseless
  • No heat development on the surface, as there is no surface contact
  • No chemical non-stick agents necessary
  • Easy integration even in tight installation spaces and in applications such as the Multilayer Label Converting Kit
