H&M South Africa raises the bar in roll coating

We are always dedicated to delivering high-performance roller coverings that meet the toughest industrial demands. Our H&M South Africa team recently took on an impressive challenge, coating an extremely large Sappi Press Top Roll with high-performance polyurethane (PU) and a composite underlayer. The result? A durable, high-quality solution built to perform.

This challenging project showcased our technical skill and attention to detail:

  • Total roller weight (including bearings and housing): 43 tons
  • Overbuild: 11mm (5.5mm per side), fine-tuned from an initial 15mm
  • Casting process duration: 5 hours
  • Total polyurethane used: 980 kg

A key highlight of this achievement was the customer’s presence during the casting process, reinforcing our commitment to transparency, collaboration, and excellence.
This achievement reflects Hannecard’s ongoing commitment to excellence in industrial roller coverings, with H&M South Africa making a valuable contribution to this success.
