Critical factors in three roll mills

Abstract

Modern three roll mills are fitted with automatic temperature control equipment, each roll with its own thermostat system. In addition to uniform and reproducible working temperatures, this ensures savings in water consumption of up to 30%. With mechanical and hydrostatic roll adjustment systems any variation in the roll gap produces a corresponding variation in the contact pressure. With hydrodynamic pressure systems, the roll gap can be altered with a constant contact pressure.
