Bowed Roller (Banana Roller)
The bowed roller ensures surface smoothness by unfolding the film material with a curvature, and the bending angle can be adjusted by using the trapezoidal screw.
The roller can be fixed either foot mounted (HCW) or flange mounted (HCP). Bowed roller can increase the transverse tension and reduce the wrinkles and slack on the material effectively.

▍About Minply Bowed
Roller (Banana Roller)
The bowed
roller makes the surface smooth by using the bending curvature to unfold the
film material.
The
expanding effect is resulted by the radius of curvature and contact angle.
It can be fixed as foot mounted (HCW) or flange mounted (HCP).
These
variables are generally determined by the thickness of material. For instance,
if the distance between two mounting centers is 2 meters:
1.
For thin materials such as paper,
cloth, film or foil, the contact angle ranges from 30° to 60°.
2.
For thick materials such as tape,
thick textile, or metal sheet, the contact angle ranges from 60° to 90°.

Roller (Banana Roller) Features
Bowed roller unfolds the material while maintaining its smoothness. It can also reduce the damage caused by wrinkles.
- Easy to use
- Minimises damage to the material.

Roller (Banana Roller) Specifications
The expanding
effect is achieved by tuning the radius of curvature and contact angle.
The contact
angle depends on the thickness of the material.
Generally, the contact
angle of thinner materials would be smaller.
For instance, if
the distance between two mounting centers is 2 meters.
1. For thin materials the contact angle
ranges from 30° to 60°.
2. For thick materials the contact angle
ranges from 60° to 90°.
Installation:
1.
Foot mounted (HCW)
2.
Flange mounted (HCP)
Angle Adjustment: Trapezoidal screw
(Simply adjust the angle according to your machines and materials to achieve the best unfolding
effect.)
