Bid goodbye to conventional textile rubber squeezing

Despite its widespread use in the industry, the original Roberto roll has the drawback that it lacks chemical resistance and cannot be used with certain resins, which tend to block its microporous structure.

The launch of the Resilio roll combined huge squeezing power with chemical resistance – but this product needs a woven or knitted structure to work its magic, as it releases liquid droplets trapped within the intersects of the fabric. This means it cannot be used on loose stock fibres such as viscose, or on yarns.

Now, the new RoberteX fibre roll completes the RHL squeeze roller trilogy perfectly, as it can be used in a number of important applications where Roberto and Resilio are not suitable.

Says Anthony Ashton: “Some textile processors will prefer to work with a product such as Resilio, because they are more comfortable with the properties of rubber rolls. Others will choose to work with the Roberto fibre roll, and for them the chemically-resistant RoberteX will be a major improvement.”
