PN Expander — Now Available for Free Trial Rental

Not satisfied with your current expander roll? Try the PN Expander for FREE and validate the results before you buy!

The PN Expander is a straight-type expander roll engineered to eliminate wrinkles and shrinkage in sheet processing. Its unique tilting-unit mechanism enables smooth expansion and contraction of the rubber sleeve along the roll circumference. This design ensures uniform wrinkle removal across the entire web width, preventing production issues and improving uptime and cost efficiency. Why Switch to the PN Expander?  1. Superior Wrinkle Elimination   • Uniform tension control — Unlike curved expanders that may cause weaving, the PN Expander maintains even tension across the full width for consistent wrinkle removal.   • Prevents bagging — Eliminates excessive center tension to avoid slack or “bagging” at the roll edges.   • Stable at high speed — Performs effectively even under high-speed operation.  2. Easy Adjustment and Maintenance   • Adjustable expansion — The tilting unit allows quick and precise control of the expansion amount to suit various sheet materials and process conditions.   • No special skill required — Adjustment is simple and repeatable, eliminating dependence on operator experience.   • Long service life — Designed for in-house maintenance to minimize downtime and extend product life.  3. Risk-Free Trial Campaign   Experience the difference on your own production line.   • Free trial units available in multiple lengths — test the PN Expander directly with your actual materials.   • Proven performance — Highly rated by customers who switched from other brands for its stability and ease of operation.
