Spreader rolls
Achieve the best possible spreading results for your product. High-quality spreading is obtained by selecting the appropriate equipment tailored to your material and the type of wrinkling issues encountered. MBC offers a range of four types of spreader rolls, each designed for specific configurations.
Curved Spreader Rolls or Banana Rolls
The most versatile of all spreaders, the banana roll or curved spreader 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 allows you to control the roll’s curvature for even more effective wrinkle removal.
- Operates through material deformation
- Most versatile option (humidity, corrosive environments, etc.)
- Multiple sleeve options or full stainless steel
- Variable or fixed curvature
Spreader Rolls with Stainless Steel Slats
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
Spreader Rolls with Ropes
Also operating by material stretching, the rope spreader roll delivers guaranteed results for soft materials like technical textiles or thick films.
Explore all available options!
- Operates through stretching
- Ideal for technical textiles and delicate materials
- Versatile (films, plastics, etc.)
- Multiple rope types available
Spreader Screws with Attached Spirals
These spreader screws complement expanding rolls by providing consistent tension, preventing the formation of wrinkles.
Attached spirals ensure spreading even on thick products.
- Can be installed in place of a guiding roll
- Choice of spiral type and quantity
- 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 guiding roll
- Customizable groove depth and style
- Can be used as either a spreader or an expander
- Available in free-spinning or motorized versions
