How to eliminate
tail wandering for better
rope threading efficiency
|
| Excessive tail slack creates tail wandering. This often tears the tail,
causes re-threading and lost production. Tail wandering may also create
the need to use additional operating personnel to protect tails from hitting
objects during threading. |
| Tail wandering results from an excessive difference in dryer surface speed
and rope speed. The rope speed is slower than sheet speed. Therefore,
the threading rope speed becomes too slow for sheet speed, thus, a wandering or
drifting tail results. |
| WESPATT Dryer Groove Filler Rings |
 |
- Eliminate tail slack, reduce tail threading time and increase tonnage.
- Made of durable steel for one time installation.
- Groove shape insures tail is tightly gripped for positive threading
efficiency.
- Custom designed and manufactured to fit each dryer rope groove.
