Germany, July 16 -- Voith launches MegaDrive, a next-generation rubber wire drive roll cover designed to improve traction, reduce wear and minimize maintenance effort in the forming section of paper and board machines.Wire drive rolls transfer drive power to the fabric at the wet end of the paper production line. They operate at high, variable speeds under harsh, abrasive conditions. Their role is to ensure that the wire can keep moving at the correct speed and tension as the paper is formed. Stable contact and reliable traction between the roll cover and forming fabric are essential to prevent slippage, maintain consistent sheet formation and ensure machine runability.Wire drive roll covers are exposed to abrasive conditions and constant h...
