Xerium unveils roll product

Xerium Technologies, Inc., a global manufacturer of industrial textiles and rolls used primarily in the paper production process, recently announced full commercial availability of a technologically advanced new series of roll cover products designed for improved machine performance, better wear and longer, more efficient product life. The latest range of roll cover products are designed to reduce operational costs and maximize the output of existing equipment, while enhancing product customization capabilities for each individual customer.

Roll covers, which are used to coat the large machine cylinders that transport raw paper along the lengthy belts while the paper is formed, pressed, and dried, are critical to the quality of paper as it is produced. With this latest series of advanced technology roll covers, Xerium continues to work with its paper manufacturing customers to maximize output and reduce operational costs.

"We continue to work very closely with our customers to advance the technology of paper manufacturing by enabling greater efficiency, leaner inventories, and lower costs," said Stephen R. Light, President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman. "The high-ROI class of products that we're developing is in direct response to manufacturers' demands for higher performance at lower costs."
