Roll Types

Today, journals are designed in three ways.
They are either bolted-on journals, inserted journals or integral journals.

 

Bolted
Inserted
Integral

 

 

Bolted
Below is an example of bolted-on journals, in which forged steel journals are bolted to the chilled cast-iron body. The body is counter-bored to accept a pintle from the journal. This fit takes the sheer load off the bolts.  The bolted design is a far superior design.

In addition, steel forgings are easier to maintain because they can be easily repaired, welded, or replaced.

 
Inserted

Inserted rolls have shrunk-fit steel journals, which are utilized for smaller rolls.

 

Integral

Inserted and integral journals are being replaced by bolted-on journals as rolls are being replaced or journals repaired.

On an integral roll, the journals are machined from a one piece casting.
                             
 
 
Standard, non-heated rolls have become obsolete for use in new calender designs.  They are still supplied as replacements for existing rolls. SHW would be happy to provide a quotation for your standard (non-heated) rolls or make recommendations to upgrade them to more modern standards.
