Energy-saving press roll

With environmental problems including CO2 emission becoming more serious day by day, all autonomous bodies and industrial organizations are implementing countermeasures. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. (MHI) has recently developed a new press roll, reported in this paper, which is effective for power saving. This press roll is designed to greatly reduce power loss from oil agitation by efficiently collecting and scavenging the lubrication oil inside the roll. This system roll has also been shown to be effective in reducing the temperature of the scavenged oil. So far, seven units of rolls of this type have been delivered to users.
