Rubber compound solutions for wood industry
In wood processing, cylinders and rollers are subjected to continuous stresses: friction, heat, and contact with paints, glues, and abrasive dust. A.Piovan develops rubber compounds specifically designed for this type of application, capable of guaranteeing consistent performance over time even under the most demanding operating conditions.
Thanks to over 40 years of experience in the production of rubber coverings and an in-house research and development department, we are able to calibrate each compound to the specific needs of machine manufacturers and companies in the wood sector, offering tailor-made solutions for coating, feeding, calendering, and other typical processes in the sector.
What experience does A.Piovan offer its customers?
In the wood processing sector, A.Piovan manufactures rollers and rubber and polyurethane coverings for calibrating machines, sanding machines, hot presses, laminating lines, and edge banding machines.
What products can A.Piovan supply?
Compounds are selected based on operating temperatures, the adhesives used, and the specific mechanical stresses involved.
Why choose A.Piovan?
The wide range available, combined with production capacity for special formats and tight tolerances, makes A.Piovan the ideal partner for manufacturers of wood processing machinery and for producers of panels, flooring, and solid wood components.
Typical applications and compounds
High abrasion resistance compounds for continuous contact with rough wooden surfaces
Elastomers stable at the curing temperatures of the adhesives used
Customized hardness grades and grooving profiles depending on the covering material
To prevent the buildup of glues and resins on the roller surface
High flexibility, smooth running, and uniform thickness, in hardness grades from 40 to 70 Shore A, with surface profiles dedicated to wide and narrow belt sanders, edge sanders, and brushing machines
High tensile strength and low elongation, with constant grip on the log even on large diameters
Technical insight
Compounds for calibrating machines, sanding machines, and hot presses must combine mechanical strength and thermal stability, given the continuous contact with abrasive surfaces and adhesives that require high curing temperatures.
- High abrasion resistance coverings for calibrating and sanding machines, even under intensive production batches
- Compounds stable at the operating temperatures of hot presses, compatible with the most common adhesives
- Non-stick solutions to prevent the buildup of resins and glues on the roller surface in laminating and edge banding lines
