Description

• Keeps the plate tight against the drum during plate loading and unloading
• Single-piece steel shaft covered with polyurethane rubber
• The speed and force of the cylinders are controlled by flow restictors and regulators, respectively. The regulators prevent excess force from bowing the roller during load or unload.
• The roller assembly is attached in middle slot of backbone mounts behind drum. The pneumatic cylinders attached to mounts
• For proper plate handling, the drum roller must turn freely. Any binding or tightness in the bearing block or ball joints causes the roller to scuff the plate during loading or unloading. Severe binding in the roller can cause plates to pull out of the LECs during load, or folding during unload.
