Converters transport miles of material across dozens of rollers and through multiple machines; these complex processes can easily result in wrinkles, torn material, misaligned cutting slitting, poor adhesion and laminate characteristics, and many other potential problems. Obviously, any problem can result in wasted stock or material, wasted manpower, decreased production output and – worse of all – these factors affect a company’s bottom line. The single most common problem, the issue of web wrinkling, will be disc ussed here. We’ll look at the most common causes, then we’ll examine some of the most common and effective solutions. The Problem in Detail In order to truly understand why webs wrinkle and why spreader rolls work, it is necessary to understand the most important web handling principal when it comes to wrinkling. This principal states that a web will seek to align itself perpendicular to a roll across the entr
