Many people ask: What exactly is the difference between rubber rollers and rubber rollers? If rubber rollers are superior, why are pinch rollers still used? Does using rubber rollers mean the printer is outdated?
First, Rubber Rollers:
The performance of rubber rollers significantly impacts the entire printer. They impose extremely strict requirements on process operation and production quality. The rubber roller drive system is primarily used in large-scale printing equipment with long step intervals and high step frequencies, such as FEDAR’s FD1924 machines. On large printing equipment exceeding speeds of 480 sqm/h, rubber rollers demonstrate exceptional advantages.
Second, Pinch Rollers:
Rubber rollers also demand high material quality. For example, the FD6198E printer uses imported fluorine rubber rubber rollers. These not only ensure smooth paper feeding—free from wrinkles and indentations—but also prevent ink splash due to static electricity. For small to medium-sized printing equipment operating at speeds below 480 sqm/h, paper feed wheels are fully competent. Additionally, they offer relatively lower equipment costs, reduced long-term maintenance expenses, and lower consumable costs during operation.
