Objective
Industrial Problem. A large number of varied industrial production processes currently rely on process rollers coated with Teflon to provide a non-sticl;, corrosion resistant surface. Unfortunately the lifetime of these Teflon coated rollers in the paper, textile. paper and film converting industries is very short with the Teflon coating failing within 1 year. Failure of the Teflon coating results in the closure of the plant and removal of the rollers which then have to be sent to a specialist facility for re-coating. The removal of these huge rollers is a complex and costly process and the regular requirement to clo this at least once a year results in significant plant down time and other associated costs in the dismantling, removal and transportation of the rollers. Removal of the rollers is necessary due to the difficulties in handling fluoropolymers and more importantly the very high cure temperatures required to cure the Teflon coating onto the roller. Project Aim - The aim of the project is to develop methodologies to replace the Teflon roller coating in-situ. This wi!l alleviate the need to remove the rollers from the plant or their position in the plantt and will hence vastly reduce the down-time of the plant and bring economic and safety benefits.
