Abstract

Servoarm Co., Ltd. is an enterprising company that makes the best use of its long cultivated hydraulic and electronic control technology to develop truly useful and problem solving devices to meet the particular needs of the customers.
Among our many special purpose devices, The Backing Roll Auto-Sanding Device was nominated and won the most honorable award in the paper making industry, the “Sasaki Award”.
This highly versatile device, not only cleans the contaminants off the backing roll during operation without stopping the line, it also polishes and grinds off scratches from the backing roll to keep its surface always clean.
Although there were many problems when cleaning the backing roll, by introducing The Backing Roll Auto-Sanding Device, the following effects and merits have been achieved:
(1) Operators are protected from the dangers of cleaning the roll during operation.
(2) Quality of paper is maintained due to the clean roll.
(3) Productivity is improved by lessening downtime of the operation line.
(4) Life span of the backing roll and the coating machine related parts and apparatus are increased.
Close collaboration with our customers is the key to new developments, and we at Servoarm continuously strive to develop new and useful devices to actively serve the paper making industry.
