Fasteel innovative fast change steel cord calendering process improvement

When changing the steel cord diameter and EPI density in a Rubberizing calenderline, it is needed to insert each individual steel cord into the grooves of the pressure and guide rollers. It takes 2 to 4 hours and this time is unproductive in the state of the art. FASTEEL® is the patented and innovative system developed by Comerio Ercole to guarantee downtime reduced to just 15-20 minutes. FASTEEL® is possible both for the creel configuration, i.e. fixed V type or parallel with mobile platform.
