Abstract

This paper describes the theoretical modeling for the prediction of slippage onset condition between the paper web and steel roller with experimental verifications. For the first step of modeling, the occurrence of slippage is observed for the cases of uncoated paper (newsprint) and coated paper, and the relation between the slip ratio and roller velocity is measured by changing web tension. Two kinds of theoretical model are proposed, and the applicability of the models is confirmed experimentally.
