3M Mill Roll Types

All 3M Mill Rolls are made of premium fibers and resin binder systems. Three of the four rolls are made from discs cut from of non-woven web engineered specific for the Mill Roll products. These discs are assembled to form a cylindrical sleeve that has a concentric bore with the outer surface allowing it to be mounted onto a properly designed support shaft.

After some additional preparation to the surface of the 3M Mill Roll, this shaft with the 3M Mill Roll assembled onto it can then be positioned in the process line.

A major physical property that makes 3M Mill Rolls unique among non-woven rolls is that these discs are bonded together to form a single, unified sleeve. Non-woven rolls from other manufacturers are produced from simple discrete discs of web compacted onto the support shaft. In addition to the specifically engineered materials they are produced from, this unified sleeve design makes 3M Mill Rolls far stronger and stable operating roll covers compared to their non-woven competitors.

This bonding feature also makes repairing a damaged 3M Mill Roll relatively simple. Typically only the portion that has been damaged needs replacing allowing a less costly option to return the roll to service relatively quickly.

Today there are four different 3M Mill Rolls being produced and marketed.
