Our roll technology and configurations are critical to a successful calender design. These steel rolls are constructed using double-shell forgings and designed to maintain a uniform roll-face temperature within 2°F (1°C) while operating up to 500°F (260°C). Options for our metal rolls include nickel or chrome plating, release coating, precision grinding, crowned or hardened. We also offer resilient rolls (fiber filled or covered). Our fiber fillings include proprietary HRCC (heat-resistant carded cotton) and HRWC (heat-resistant wool cotton). We have constructed countless roll configurations over many years, any one of which may be adapted to your specific application.

BF Perkins offers a full-range of calendering machinery including thermal laminators, thermal and point bonding calenders, embossers and lab calenders. BF Perkins is recognized as the leader of high-pressure, precision thermal-bonding and laminating calenders. Applications include construction, filtration, agricultural, medical, and personal care/hygiene.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction and service is guaranteed. We have worked closely with customers to offer technical expertise and in-line solutions for new machinery, equipment restoration or simple maintenance parts. In Rochester, New York we have an in-house laboratory equipped with a four-roll, 22" wide calender providing 5000 PLI nip loading and 400 FPM speed. With temperature control up to 550°F and an extensive inventory of lab rolls, our lab calender exhibits exact working conditions and product performance. Laboratory simulations insure proper processing, aiding in the efficient design of production equipment. Call us for your next lab trial. Our experienced engineers will gladly assist you in identifying equipment parameters and operating conditions necessary for your next equipment application.
