Proper handling of glassine rolls is crucial to prevent edge damage, which can ruin the material and cause production issues. Follow these best practices:
Core Handling Principles:
1. 切勿通过卷边处理 - 支持整个面宽
2. 维护表面完整性 - 避免凹陷、撕裂和污染
3. 防止变形 - 以正确的方向存储/运输
Key Handling Procedures:
Stage | Do's | Don'ts |
Lifting | Use roll cradles or shaft clamps Employ vacuum lifters with edge guards 支持双手全幅面支撑 | Don't use hooks or pinch grips Avoid forklifts without core adapters Never lift by core ends alone |
存储 | Store vertically on flat pallets Use edge protectors on both sides 保持50-60%的相对湿度,18-24°C | Don't stack horizontally Avoid leaning against walls Never expose to direct sunlight |
运输 | Use pallet sleeves with end caps Secure with air-bag systems Transport verticalement | Don't use straps without protectors 避免在卡车中松散堆放 Never drag rolls |
加工 | Use expanding shaft chucks Align rolls perfectly before loading Inspect cores for damage first | Don't use chuck jaws without buffers 避免不对齐加载 Never force onto shafts |
Critical Details:
- Edge Protectors: Mandatory rigid flanges extending 5-10mm beyond roll edges
- Core Inspection: Check for cracks/damage before mounting - damaged cores cause crushing
- Humidity Control: Maintain stable RH to prevent edge waviness (critical for glassine)
- Clean Handling: Wear cotton gloves - skin oils permanently stain glassine
- Pallet Stacking: 最大3层高,垂直对齐;在层之间使用波纹分隔器
When Loading Presses:
1. 验证核心/卷直径兼容性
2. 使用核心插头以确保安全贴合
3. 同时以相等的压力夹紧夹头
4. 在通电前慢慢手动旋转
Pro Tip: 实施“无裸手”政策,并专门为玻璃纸配备处理设备。边缘损坏通常来自累积的小冲击 - 单个凹痕在展开过程中可以通过多个层传播。将卷材存放在远离高流量区域的地方,以防止意外冲击。
Proper handling preserves glassine's unique properties: its smooth surface, moisture resistance, and dimensional stability. Damaged edges lead to web breaks, wrinkles, and print defects that cost far more than preventative measures.
