rotoSLEEVE Glass Fibre Print Cylinders

rotoSLEEVE Glass Fibre are modern, ultra-light printing cylinders made of composite materials, which can additionally be combined with aluminum and other plastics such as PET, polyurethane or polyester using modern techniques of building all layers of the cylinder.

Advantages:

• Energy-saving material, possibility of making the outer layer with different hardness.
• Highly abrasion resistant, resistant to high temperature, moisture and noise levels
• High elasticity, vibration damping, tensile strength, self-extinguishing and electrically insulating properties
• Simple design for easy installation on the air mandrel
• High-quality workmanship thanks to the use of high-quality materials
• Lightweight printed cylinder design
• Durable inner core

Layers responsible for the behaviour of the sleeves during application on the mandrel

Base layer

• Made of glass material and epoxy resin
• High thermal resistance
• High dimensional stability
• The possibility of placing additional information inside

Compensating layer

• Vulkollan, extremely resistant and resilient
• Fast shape recovery, up to 60% energy return
• Protected with a layer of reinforced resin

Layers responsible for weight reduction and surface life:

Volume layer

• Honeycomb, PET or XPS materials
• High thermal and chemical resistance
• Closed volume - less resin
• Reduction of weight

Outer layer

• Glass material saturated with colored resin
• Possibility of making any color
• High hardness 80-90ShD and dimensional stability
• High mechanical resistance

Improvement of product life
