At the same time, the products are rapidly evolving: decor and colour patterns, multi-layered products, smoothness and silkiness, perfumes and high resistance are features that appeal more and more to potential customers. Therefore, many paper converters increase their product range, but at the same time need to reduce cost and improve the efficiency and output. With the increase in production speed, web width and pattern complexity, the requirements towards elastomer coated rolls have become very stringent. Hannecard proposes multiple solutions and advantages for all elastomer coated rolls involved in the process.
The Figure shows a classic concept for nested embossing, widely used for the production of toilet paper and tissue towels. Also different machines can of course be used for simple or combined embossing and for other tissue products.
Embossing Rolls
Hannecard has developed 3 product ranges allowing an optimal choice, depending on the specific needs of the embossing machine and the tissue products.
Your Needs:
- Stable pattern reproduction
- High resilience
- Low heat build-up
- Good abrasion resistance
- Sometimes resistance to
perfumed lotion or glue
The Hannecard Advantage:
- Long lifetime
- Excellent and stable embossing behaviour, both for spot and micro embossing, even at high speed
- No shadow marking

EmboFlex-XP |
Outstanding abrasion resistance |
EmboFlex-XL |
Outstanding resilience and compression-set |
Applicator (Cliche) Rolls
On modern tissue finishing machines, the cliché rolls have become considerably larger and heavier than before. Yet the typical needs of applicator rolls (precise geometry, purity, defect free surface, transfer affinity) have remained unchanged. Furthermore, the reduction of glue consumption has become an absolute priority. Hannecard has not only developed products with an exceptional performance, we are also equipped with high precision grinding and finishing machines that assure the requie dimensional precision and the correct surface profile. All Hannecard solutions can be obtained with composite carrier sleeves, including the recoating of your existing sleeves.
Your Needs:
- High affinity for the (water based) glue
- Very high geometrical precision
- Defect-free surface
The Hannecard Advantage:
- Rubber and polyurethane solutions
- Optimal glue transfer, also for coloured glue
- Compounds with improved purity and homogeneity
- High precision grinding and finishing
- Easy to clean
- Sleeve solutions

Marrying Rolls
For two and multi-layered paper, the marrying roll will determine the quality and the precision during the lamination process. A very stable behaviour in the nip is required, even at high pressure.
Your Needs:
- Hard without crushing the paper
- Smooth surface
- Stable geometry in time
The Hannecard Advantage:
- Rubber and polyurethane solutions
- High surface gloss for optimal paper release
- Very stable pressure nip and surface geometry
- Easy to clean

Properties |
CombiStar |
Very good physical properties and abrasion resistance |
CombiStar-XP |
Outstanding physical properties and abrasion resistance |
Other Applications
Hannecard offers specific solutions related to the finishing of tissue paper: Fountain rolls for glue application, found on some machine types; Flexo or gravure printing of logos and décor motives (cliché rolls and sleeves, pressure rolls and sleeves); Off-line coating of hygiene paper with softening lotion and/or perfume (applicator rolls); Cutting and winding (drum and lay-on rolls).
Hannecard Paper can handle rolls and presses up to 32 tons,
1400 mm diameter and 12 m total length
