Paper mill shafts

The model 640 / PQL pneumatic expanding shaft is standard in TISSUE industry. The OEMs that supply machines for this market, as well as the top five major fabric manufacturers, all use this model.

Our large diameter steel expandable shafts stay in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in paper mills around the world.

They usually use multiple tube technology with internal and external valves for inflation / deflation.

The 640 / PQL model is the expansion shaft preferred by machine manufacturers for its use in the production of jumbo rolls of paper and tissue on cores.

Dozens or even hundreds of heavy and expensive expandable shafts currently used to wrap, store or transport reels are not needed.

Only from 3 to 6 640 / PQL shafts are needed to run non-stop.

On today’s high-speed paper machines, it is essential to minimize vibrations and unbalance. Our technology can centre the core on the shaft diameter before locking it. The metal centring ledges work in combination with the rubber gripping ledges: the metal ledges are designed to expand first, centring the core on the shaft diameter; subsequently, the rubber ones are raised to block it.

This allows the shafts to work quickly, without hitches or vibrations at higher speeds. All shafts are dynamically balanced up to grade G-1.6.

Each tube has its own internal valve for controlled expansion.

If one chamber fails, the remaining ones, being independent, remain inflated.

The fault is therefore easily identifiable and can be repaired if you have a set of hex wrenches, scissors and a kit of spare parts in just 10-15 minutes.

Very often the paper mills send back shaft for repairs: this is expensive and time-consuming.

The ability to repair our “in-house” shafts, instead of sending them back for maintenance, put the money back in your pocket.

MAIN ADVANTAGES OF SVECOM’S 640 PQL EXPANDING SHAFT
