A machine, used for the purpose of giving cloth, paper, etc., a smooth, even, and glossy or glazed surface, by cold or hot pressure, or for watering them and giving them a wavy appearance. It consists of two or more cylinders revolving nearly in contact, with the necessary apparatus for moving and regulating.
To press between rollers for the purpose of making smooth and glossy, or wavy, as woolen and silk stuffs, linens, paper, etc.
A machine equipped with two or more heavy, internally heated or cooled rolls used for the continuous sheeting or "plying up" of rubber compounds.
(wire cloth) - To pass wire cloth through a pair of rollers to reduce thickness or flatten intersections of wires and provide a smooth surface. Also called rolled.
Machine that presses fabric in irregular creases to create a 'watered' effect.
A process on the paper machine where the paper is squeezed between metal cylinders to make the paper smooth and glossy.
Machine in which paper is given a glazed finish by passing it between two or more rolls, either on or off the paper machine
(r) a machine with two or more parallel, counterrotating rolls with a controllable, roll-to-roll spacing, rotating at selected surface speeds and controlled temperatures, used for sheeting, laminating, skim coating (topping) and friction coating, to a controlled thickness and/or surface condition.
An assembly of rolls which impart a final finish to paper. Paper is passed through the vertical stack of calender rolls and is progressively smoothed and compacted as it passes through the stack. Process imparts gloss to the paper surface. (See nip).
A machine equipped with two or more metal rolls revolving in opposite directions and used for continuously sheeting or plying up rubber and plastics compounds and for frictioning or coating materials with rubber and plastics compounds.
a machine that smoothes or glazes paper or cloth by pressing it between plates or passing it through rollers
press between rollers or plates so as to smooth, glaze, or thin into sheets; "calender paper"
a highly polished heated roll on which the cloth is pressed smooth and given luster
set or stack of rollers at the end of the papermachine to smooth paper, may have heated rolls. See also Super-calender.
Glossy fabric finish achieved by pressing cloth between two rollers.
A machine used to form sheets of rubber between steel rollers.
It is a machine used in finishing to impart a variety of surface effects to fabrics. A calender essentially consists of two or more heavy rollers, sometimes heated, through which the fabric is passed under heavy pressure.
A process on the paper machine where the paper is squeezed between metal cylinders to compact the fibers. This makes the paper smoother and imparts some gloss.
A machine that consists of two or more heavy rollers, which are sometimes heated, used to impart various surface effects to fabrics. The fabric is passed through the calender under heavy pressure.
A series of rollers that squeeze the finished paper, creating a harder, firmer surface that often looks somewhat shiny.
A machine, either on or off the paper machine, which gives paper a glazed finish by calendering it, i.e. pressing it between two or more rolls.
A machine consisting of heavy rollers, which may or may not be heated, through which fabric is passed in order to smooth and flatten it. Special effects can also be produced which imprint patterns or give a high lustre.
To make the surface of paper smooth by pressing it between steel rollers during manufacture.
cotton fabric is passed through heat and pressure (rollers) so that the a glossy appearance or luster is added.
A machine used to laminate sheeting or for applying coating with a specified thickness and/or surface attribute.
(1) A machine normally composed of three counter-rotating steel roofs of large diameter; a device used to produce film and sheet goods which are normally wound up into roll stock; (2) A machine with two or more counter-rotating steel rollers used for laminating sheeting or skim coating (topping) to a controlled thickness or surface characteristic or both; (3) A precision machine equipped with three or more heavy internally heated or cooled rolls, revolving in opposite directions. Used for preparation of continuous sheeting or plying up compounds.
(v). To prepare sheets of material by pressure between two or more counter-rotating rolls. (n) The machine performing this operation.
Also known as "rolled," it is the process of passing wire cloth between two rollers to reduce the thickness or flatten intersections of wires and to supply a smooth surface.
The process of turning uncured rubber into sheets by squeezing it between iron or steel rollers.
A stack of highly polished metal cylinders at the end of a paper machine that smoothes and shines the paper surface as sheets pass through.
To make paper smooth and glossy by passing it between rollers during manufacturing.
Machine with two or more rolls for making sheets.
To smooth the surface of paper with polished rollers.
The calender is a series of rolls in a stack, at the end of a paper machine (on-line) or separate from it (off-line). The purpose of a calender is to smooth out the paper for enabling printing and writing on it, and to increase the gloss on the paper surface. It is understood to be a process of using pressure for embossing a smooth surface on the still rough paper surface.
