Rullfodring (Varmglasbearbetning)
Webbings for Hot Glass Processing / Quenching
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies a specialist range of roller cover webbings engineered for glass tempering furnaces, glass quenching lines, float glass processing equipment and high temperature conveying systems. Roller cover webbings are designed to protect hot glass surfaces from marking, scratching and thermal shock whilst providing durability under demanding operating conditions.
The selection of roller cover material is critical to balancing temperature resistance, abrasion resistance, compressibility, glass contact characteristics and service life. Different fibre technologies offer distinct advantages depending upon the furnace design, glass temperature, production speed and maintenance requirements.
The Roller Cover Webbing range supplied by Textile Technologies Europe Ltd includes Para-Aramid Roller Cover Webbing, Stainless Steel Woven Tape, Stainless Steel Knitted Webbing, Stainless Steel Para-Aramid Webbing and Technora® Webbing Tape.

Para-Aramid Roller Cover Webbing
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Para-Aramid Roller Cover Webbing manufactured from high-performance para-aramid fibres. Para-aramid offers excellent abrasion resistance, outstanding tensile strength and good resistance to repeated flexing, making it one of the most widely specified materials for glass processing roller covers.
The webbing provides a non-marking contact surface whilst helping to protect hot glass during transportation through tempering and processing lines.
Stainless Steel Woven Tape
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Stainless Steel Woven Tape manufactured from fine stainless steel wire woven into a robust tape construction. The material offers exceptional resistance to abrasion, mechanical wear and elevated temperatures.
Stainless Steel Woven Tape is commonly used where maximum durability and temperature capability are required, particularly within demanding glass processing and industrial conveying environments.
Stainless Steel Knitted Webbing
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Stainless Steel Knitted Webbing manufactured from interlocking stainless steel wire loops to create a flexible and compressible roller covering material.
The knitted construction allows the material to conform effectively to roller surfaces whilst maintaining excellent heat resistance and durability. This makes it particularly suitable for applications requiring cushioning and thermal stability.
Stainless Steel Para-Aramid Webbing
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Stainless Steel Para-Aramid Webbing combining the flexibility and non-marking characteristics of para-aramid fibres with the enhanced heat resistance and mechanical durability provided by stainless steel reinforcement.
This hybrid construction provides an excellent balance between thermal performance, wear resistance and glass handling characteristics, making it suitable for demanding roller cover applications.
Technora® Webbing Tape
Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Technora® Webbing Tape manufactured from high-performance Technora® para-aramid fibres. Technora® offers exceptional tensile strength, fatigue resistance, dimensional stability and resistance to repeated thermal cycling.
Compared with conventional para-aramid materials, Technora® provides improved durability and long-term performance in demanding roller cover applications where high production speeds and extended service life are required.
Material Selection Guide
| Requirement | Recommended Material |
| Non-Marking Glass Contact | Para-Aramid Roller Cover Webbing |
| Maximum Abrasion Resistance | Stainless Steel Woven Tape |
| Flexible Compressible Covering | Stainless Steel Knitted Webbing |
| Combined Strength & Heat Resistance | Stainless Steel Para-Aramid Webbing |
| Maximum Service Life | Technora® Webbing Tape |
| High Temperature Glass Processing | Stainless Steel Based Products |
