Component Specifications

Definition

A specialized cooling system integrated into paper machine reel spools that circulates temperature-controlled fluid through internal channels within the shaft to maintain optimal operating temperatures, preventing thermal deformation that could compromise paper roll uniformity and winding precision during high-speed production.

Working Principle

Utilizes forced circulation of cooling fluid (typically water or glycol mixture) through internal axial channels within the shaft structure. Heat transfer occurs via conduction from the shaft material to the circulating fluid, with temperature regulation controlled by external heat exchangers and flow control systems to maintain shaft within specified thermal operating range.

Materials

Stainless steel (AISI 316L) shaft body with corrosion-resistant internal tubing, food-grade polymer seals, copper-nickel alloy heat transfer surfaces where applicable.

Technical Parameters

Flow Rate 40-80 L/min
Pressure Rating 6-10 bar
Cooling Capacity 15-25 kW
Temperature Range 10-40°C
Shaft Diameter Compatibility 150-400 mm

Standards

ISO 12100, ISO 13849-1, DIN 8601
