The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a roll coating onto a roll frame (), which coating comprises a base layer () on the roll frame () and a surface layer () on the base layer (). The base layer () is brought to its final form after the surface layer () has been formed and cured or solidified. The surface layer () is formed on the base layer () and cured or solidified after the base layer () has been formed on the roll frame ().

Method for manufacturing a coating for a roll

The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage of hard roll covers, are reduced by the inclusion of one or more intermediate compressive layers between a roll core base and cover. The compressive layer has the properties of being rigid enough to allow the cover to be applied to the roll, and compressible enough to deform and absorb the stresses which occur as the cover is shrinking during processing. In one embodiment, the compressive layer is separately cast with the cover over a disposable inner mold so as to form a composite roll cover. The composite roll cover is fitted over a roll core base and the resulting circumferential cavity is then filled with a thermoset resin.

Roll having a composite cover

A covered roll structure employed in the manufacture of a paper machine roll comprises a core roll having a substantially cylindrical outer surface, a sleeve of removable material surrounding the core roll outer surface, a sleeve of compressible material surrounding the sleeve of removable material, and a sleeve of polymeric material surrounding the sleeve of compressible material and the sleeve of removable material.

Roll cover

The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage of hard roll covers, are reduced by the inclusion of one or more intermediate compressive layers between the metal roll substrate and the outer cover, or cover. A compressive layer has the properties of being rigid enough to allow the cover to be applied to the roll, and compressible enough to deform and absorb the stresses which occur as the cover is shrinking during processing. In one embodiment, the intermediate compressive layer comprises a three dimensional fabric that is filled preferably with a thermoset resin system which cures at lower temperature than cover. In a second embodiment, the precise amount of shrinkage in the roll is predetermined to a high enough degree of accuracy so that a depth for the fabric layer can be used to compensate for the amount of shrinkage, thereby eliminating the need for filling. In a third embodiment, the compressive layer is comprised of a meltable material wherein said material melts at cure temperatures. The resulting cavity is then filled with a thermoset resin. The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage are further reduced through a method based on applying a polymeric cover layer over one or more intermediate compressive layers, curing at an elevated temperature, and, allowing the cover to shrink during curing or hardening.

Covered roll and a method for making the same

The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage of hard roll covers, are reduced by the inclusion of one or more intermediate compressive layers between the metal roll and the outer cover, or topstock. A compressive layer has the properties of being rigid enough to allow the topstock to be applied to the roll, and compressible enough to buffer and absorb the stresses which occur as the topstock is shrinking during processing. In one embodiment, the intermediate compressive layer comprises a three dimensional fabric that is filled preferably with a thermoset resin system which cures at lower temperature than topstock. In a second embodiment, the precise amount of shrinkage in the roll can be predetermined to a high enough degree of accuracy so that a depth for the fabric layer can be used to compensate for the amount of shrinkage, thereby eliminating the need for filling. In a third embodiment, the compressive layer is comprised of a wax material. The problems caused by chemical and thermal shrinkage are further reduced through a method based on applying a polymeric topstock layer over one or more intermediate compressive layers, curing at an elevated temperature, and, allowing the topstock to shrink during curing or hardening.
