Each different pattern in a nonwoven fabric requires its own costly emboss roll. Tokuden's innovative Sleeve Jacket Roll helps cut these costs by requiring that only the roll cylinder (or sleeve) be changed, rather than the entire roll, to accommodate a product changeover. The Sleeve Jacket Roll and a variety of emboss sleeves provide a quick, efficient, cost-effective solution to multi-product manufacturing. Because the Sleeve Jacket Roll package includes a changeover cradle and other parts, it is slightly more expensive than a conventional Jacket roll. However, one Sleeve Jacket Roll and two spare sleeves cost less than three conventional Jacket rolls. The more spares you need, the greater the cost savings. The emboss sleeve is easy to change. Simply set the Sleeve Jacket Roll on the changeover cradle, slide the carrier on which the sleeve sits to detach the coil section, and fit the spare sleeve in place. The entire process takes about one hour. *Production cost takes 1 conventional to be 100.
