MITSUHASHI CORPORATION
MITSUHASHI FE-BM Flat Expander

Manufacturer: MITSUHASHI CORPORATION
Model: FE-BM
This is a rubber cord type wrinkle removal roll with an outer diameter of φ200 mm and a roll surface length of 4500 mm or less.
It can remove wrinkles from cloth, nonwoven fabrics, plastic films, paper, glass fibers, etc.
As the roll rotates, numerous rubber cords repeatedly expand and contract. When a web is wrapped around it, the elasticity of the rubber expands the web, thereby removing wrinkles from the web.
This is a high-grade wrinkle removal roll that uses highly sophisticated components, such as a sliding resin piece with an extremely low coefficient of friction.

Features
This is a non-curved, straight, elastic-cord type wrinkle-removing roll. It removes wrinkles without adding harmful distortion to the web.
- Scope of application
These wrinkle-removing rolls are designed for line speeds of 450 m/min or less and tensions of 784 N or less.
They are manufactured with an outer diameter of φ200 mm (rubber cord arrangement: 16 equal divisions around the circumference) and a roll surface length ranging from 2000 to 4500 mm. - The amount of expansion can be adjusted.
The optimal deployment amount can be adjusted by changing the angle of the rings on both sides of the roll using the adjustment bolts. The adjustment status can be checked on the angle scale plate.
Standard deployment amount: 10.4 mm (ring tilt angle 3°) - Mounting direction
The sheet’s pass line can be adjusted in any direction, from horizontal to vertical.
The sheet winding angle onto the roll is generally used within the range of 30 to 90 degrees. - Further improvement in lifespan
The design minimizes wear on the rotating/sliding components, thus improving the overall lifespan of the roll.
