Double Roll Roller Die Hot Gum Edging Systems

Double Roll Roller Die Hot Gum Edging Systems

The Double Roll Roller Die (DRRD) Hot Gum Edging System is Steelastic’s latest innovation in single compound gum application for steel belts. With this machine, the rubber is extruded via a die into a double roll system to produce highly toleranced gum material. The gum is then slit and applied to the steel belt, either top applied or wrapped.
