Abstract
Draw rollers for striplike materials (especially paper or cardboard strips, plastic or metal foils), having a sheath ( ) that can rotate around a fixed inner component, whereby said sheath is provided with air holes along the entire surface thereof, are already known per se. A vacuum chamber ( ) is arranged in the winding area of the strip. Said vacuum chamber ( ) can be subjected to an underpressure. According to the invention, another vacuum chamber ( ) is arranged inside the sheath ( ) in the running direction of said strip ( ) directly in front of the vacuum chamber ( ), whereby the underpressure in the second vacuum chamber is greater than the underpressure in the first vacuum chamber ( ) and is independent thereof. The upstream second vacuum chamber ( ) enables the separating layer of air adhering to the strip ( ) to be suctioned in a targeted manner, whereby the contact surface of the strip ( )/roller remains large enough to transmit high drawing forces.
