Refurbished Heat Transfer Rolls—Good as New

“A new roll core like this was in the $40,000 price range,” says Varley. “Plus, of course, there was the substantial added cost of downtime. Menges recommended repairing it, which was done for less than 40 percent of that cost. They replaced the outer shell, machined the internals to remove oxidation, and the internal shell was rewound to produce an even better cooling rate then when the roll was new.”
