Spreader Rolls

Curved Expanding Rolls or Banana Rolls

The most versatile of all spreaders, the banana roll or curved expanding roll eliminates wrinkles from your product.

It works by deforming the material and guarantees visible results. Commonly used in the paper, textile, and film industries.

The adjustable regulator lets you control the roll’s curvature for even more effective wrinkle removal.

• Operates by material deformation
• Most versatile option (humidity, corrosive environments, etc.)
• Multiple sleeve options or full stainless steel
• Variable or fixed curvature

Stainless Steel Slatted Expanding Rolls

These rolls work by stretching the material and are ideal for heavy and/or fragile materials. They do not deform the product, ensuring clean, precise spreading.

• Operates by stretching
• Suitable for heavy materials
• Optional slat coating choices

Cord Expanding Rolls

Also operating by material stretching, cord expanding rolls are ideal for soft materials like technical textiles or thick films.

Explore all available options!

• Operates by stretching
• Ideal for technical textiles and delicate materials
• Versatile (films, plastics, etc.)
• Multiple cord types available

Spreader Screws with Attached Spirals

These spreader screws complement expanding rolls by providing consistent tension, preventing the formation of wrinkles.

The added spiral cord ensures effective spreading even on thick products.

• Can be installed in place of a guide roll
• Customizable number and type of cords
• Can be used as either a spreader or an expander
• Available in free-spinning or motorized versions

Spreader Screws with Machined Spirals

Also used alongside spreading rolls, machined spiral screws maintain even tension and prevent wrinkling.

This type is best for delicate materials that could be marked by other spreaders.

• Can be installed in place of a guide roll
• Customizable groove depth and style
• Can be used as either a spreader or an expander
• Available in free-spinning or motorized versions
