Kastalon Polyurethane Products

Clapper Jaws Kastalon's Polyurethane® Clapper Jaws provide the non-marring traction required to keep the paper moving at precisely spaced distances. The unique design results in fewer drops, allowing higher line speed and reduced downtime. Kastalon Polyurethane® Clapper Jaws have been field proven to outlast and outperform other replacement parts and original equipment parts with more than 5 times the life cycle. Available in standard sizes for HeidelbergHarris and Hamilton Tool feeders and cutters. Kastalon also offers custom designs for all forms of paper converting machines in the marketplace. For more information on custom configurations, contact Kastalon's design and engineering staff.

Non-skid tread surfaces protect rotating coils during the handling process, eliminating mishaps such as "walking" off coils of the car. Other uses for Kastalon Polyurethane® Grit-Grip Pads include: Coil conveyor pads Coil scales Clamps Machinery mounts Hoist pads AGVS transfer car pads Hoists Elevators Coil stools Lifting boots For more information regarding Kastalon's other coil protection products, also see: - Coil Floor Storage Pads - Crane Bumpers - Filler Plates - Filler Rings - Industrial Roller Coverings - Mandrel Sleeves

When a standard product is not a viable option, Kastalon will help you create a custom layout. Trust the Pros Kastalon has been a leader in the design engineering and manufacturing of high quality innovative polyurethane parts and products to protect metals since 1963. From the time metal is rolled, coated or processed, Industrial Roller Coverings, Mandrel Sleeves, Filler Plates, Coil Car Pads, and Fork-Kushion® forklift bumpers, are in service providing outstanding protection and increasing yields.

Paper folding machines utilize polyurethane rollers and wheels to advance the paper forms through the machine at precise speeds. Kastalon Polyurethane Gripper Wheels are manufactured with a custom blended polyurethane that dramatically improves the effectiveness of the machine and provides a much longer life than other wheels or rolls.

In areas that are permanently designated for coil storage; a floor pad that can be bolted into place may be the best solution. If oil needs to be collected, Kastalon Floor Pads that contain oil reservoirs would be more suitable.

At Kastalon, we specialize in finding effective solutions that will improve yield, quality and production efficiencies, literally from the ground up. A perfect example is Kastalon’s line of floor protection for any form of coiled metal. By choosing to store your coils on a wear resistant Kastalon floor pad or Coil Saddle®, you areveffectively protecting the outer wrap and inner wraps, in some cases, from all forms of damage. If you are concerned with any or all of these key factors, these products are meant for you: Minimize floor space usage Make moving of coils easier and faster Protect surfaces, finishes, and mechanical properties of materials Need for efficient pre-staging of coils Maximize flexibility for a range of jobs Maintain better housekeeping for 5-S programs To choose the proper storage device, you should first consider how coils are transported from the storage area and how they will be stored ahead of the process line.

For staging areas or storage of very large coils, the Coil-Saddle® is the perfect solution. The patented deep cradle fits virtually any size coil and takes up nominal floor space. The unique design offers the versatility of using it as a movable fixture in staging areas or affixed permanently to the storage area floor. Made of bright safety yellow polyurethane and reinforced steel frames, the Coil-Saddle® surprisingly only weighs 45# and can be easily moved out of the way when not in use. This avoids tripping hazards, yet can handle up to a 72” diameter coil. Another consideration is the fact that a very common cost cutting initiative in our industry has been to reduce packaging or wrapping of coils that are moved short distances throughout the supply chain. Not only does this relieve the production costs but processing time is reduced. The downside is that now the outer wrap is exposed and more easily scratched or dented, therefore, floor protection becomes even more important. U.S. Pat.

Meeting all specifications of OSHA, CMAA, ANSI, and AIST, Kastalon Crane Bumpers have a highly engineered structure with no moving parts, require no maintenance and are much lower in cost than the alternatives. Unaffected by oil, grease, aging, temperature extremes, and dirt, they stand up to extreme environmental conditions. No moving parts to fail; as are found in hydraulic or spring bumpers Compact and lightweight Efficient at most temperatures, from -60° to 225°F (-51° to 107° Centigrade) Unaffected by oil, grease, ozoneaging Surpass the performance of hydraulic bumpers and bumpers made from rubber, foam material, wood, plastics, compositions, non-ferrous metals and steel Offer a much greater cushioning effect than other bumpers Sizes range from 2 inch diameter to 24 inch diameter in both U.S. and European configurations, fitting virtually every bumper requirement. Regardless of the size or application of the crane, Kastalon has the appropriate bumper available.

Kastalon specializes in designing segments to precisely match the hole pattern and leaf pattern of the mandrel. The segments are bolted into position, giving the same expansion range as the base drum. This provides the flexibility of handling 28-in to 32-in ID coils on a 20-in to 24-in drum and do not have to be adjusted during coil change-outs. For an even greater reduction in maintenance time, Kastalon has designed "Lifting Rings" for loading the segments on and off the mandrels. Kastalon Polyurethane Filler Plates are an essential component for any coil processor. Check out our satisfied customers' success stories. Highly engineered non-marring Kastalon Polyurethane segments are significantly lighter than their steel counterparts and have been engineered to give superior durability and wear resistance.
