GetaGrip!™ F36GS On Planer Mill Rolls |
Calculate
QuantityGetaGrip!™ F36GS is a coating applied to planer mill rolls that handle planed lumber.
The GetaGrip!™ F36GS coating is a modified epoxy imbedded with 1/36" shards of ultra-tough aluminum oxide.
The epoxy sets like flame hardened steel, 100 Rockwell.
Aluminum oxide is the grit used in grinding wheels and sanding disks used to sand steel.
1/36” grit provides 1296 points per square inch, perfect to GetaGrip!™ on planed lumber without marking it.
Examples Of GetaGrip!™ F36GS In Planer Mills
Bed Rolls Of High Speed Planer BridgeProblem: Gaps between the boards entering the planer make the top planer in-feed roll bounce. This causes inefficient planer operation and can lead to a complete jam-up of the planer. To "ribbon feed" modern high speed lumber planers, these 8 planer 'bridge rolls' have to accelerate the lumber from zero to around 2000 feet/min in less than the length of some boards. Without sufficient traction the planer bridge rolls must operate as much as 30% faster than the planer they feed. GetaGrip!™ on these rolls and the feed speed should be set as low as 6% above planer speed (running faster than required will sand the lumber as it feeds and create a lot of wood dust). Use F16GS for rough lumber, F24GS for smooth lumber if the planer re-runs previously planed lumber.. |

Crossover RollsProblem: Grabbing and moving very smooth finished lumber without marking it. Finished lumber and smooth steel rolls is a recipe for lumber out of control. Boards have limited space and time to reach their position, especially at high speeds. Poor traction necessitates higher roll RPM, higher roll RPM creates higher board velocity. High velocity causes the board to bounce out of position. Four hours to apply the GetaGrip!™ F36GS, 1/2 a day for it to cure, adjust the transfer rolls RPM and they accelerate the lumber effectively and efficiently. |
|
Board Dealer WheelsProblem: Getting enough traction to place the boards in-between the chain lugs without marking the lumber. Board dealer wheels have to rub on the board, without marking it, until the next chain lug is in position. The board is then let go and the dealer wheels must immediately propel the board into position on the chains. Previous attempts used rubber and the rolls had to be adjusted as it wore down. knurling only works well if another roll presses the lumber against it. GetaGrip!™ F36GS works so well, this type of coating is applied by OEM's. It is critical that board dealers work well, maximum efficiency is only attained when all the chain lugs are filled. GetaGrip!™ F36GS is the crucial link between the rolls and the lumber. |

Trimmer In-Feed And Out-Feed RollsProblem: Boards entering the trimmer in the wrong position are trimmed the wrong length and become rejects. Boards have limited space and time to be placed in precisely the right position, especially at high speeds. Poor traction necessitates higher roll RPM, higher roll RPM creates higher board velocity. High velocity causes the board to bounce when it hits the positioning fence. Without enough traction to hold the boards tight to the positioning fence, they enter the trimmer in the wrong position. Coating several trimmer in-feed rolls the full length with GetaGrip!™ F36GS provides maximum traction, allows for lower roll RPM and slower board velocity. Almost no bounce occurs and boards hold tight to the positioning fence. In the pictures on the right, four and a half of the rolls on this trimmer in-feed were coated with GetaGrip!™ F36GS. GetaGrip!™ F36GS provides the best coefficient of traction in this application, without marking planed lumber. After adjusting the RPM these rolls operate at and tying them with the correct ratio to the line speed, this trimmer in-feed will perform as it should. Depending on the severity of the problem, this GetaGrip!™ F36GS application has a payback of between one day and one month. |
|
Final Roll Of Curved TransferProblem: This last roll has to drive the lumber completely out onto the chain-way or a pileup occurs. GetaGrip!™ F36GS has positive traction on planed lumber. It easily moves each of the hundreds of thousands of boards that these rolls have to GetaGrip!™ on. |
