Inspired by the armadillo’s armor, the Armadillo Roll integrates independently operating spreading elements that dynamically adapt to material variations, ensuring uniform spreading and reliable wrinkle-free performance at all production stages.
Each Armadillo Roll is
custom manufactured
to your requirements
Up to 2800 independently operating individual spreading elements
per meter
Available in various diameters up to 7000 mm in length
Web speed of up to 1000m/min through vibration reduction

The Armadillo Roll is a completely new solution in spreader roller engineering
to outperform traditional systems.
Using precision rubber rings with independently acting spreading elements, the Armadillo Roll delivers exceptional spreading performance without external drives or regular adjustments.
How it works
Precision Engineering
Engineered from patented, high-precision rubber rings.
Zero-Maintanance Spreading
Each ring contains multiple individual spreading elements that ensure excellent web spreading—even with minimal wrap—without any drive, power, or adjustments needed on the roll.
Center-Out Action
The rings are mounted to direct the spreading force from the center of the web outward to the edges.
Independent & Responsive
Each precision ring uses 20 to 40 ultra-lightweight (just 0.5g!) spreading elements that work completely independently.
Controlled Tilt Technology
A specially protected shape gives the elements a controlled, automatic tilting movement toward the roll's edge, maximizing spread effect.
Immediate Response
The low mass of the Armadillo Roll allows it to react instantly to the slightest web pressure.
Armadillo Roll
Key Features
Principle Operation
1400-2800 individual spreading elements per meter of roller length that are independently operating.
Mark-free guidance
Slightly curved, large contact surfaces ensure mark-free guidance without relative movement.
Wrap
Full funcionality with
8-180° wrap
Web Cover
Between 10 and 750 N/m
Web Thickness
Effortlessly handles materials thicker than 4 μm and heavier than 8 g/m², ensuring consistent spreading across a wide range of substrates.
Web Speed
Engineered for high-speed production, delivering web speeds up to 1000 m/min with a vibration-damping design that ensures perfectly smooth running.

Offered in four standard diameters (60, 110, 130, and 150 mm) and built in lengths of up to 7000 mm, fully tailored to your production needs.
Properties
Designed to be highly durable, easy to clean, antistatic, and resistant to water, temperature, and ozone.
FDA-compliant on request.
Lane Seperation
Allows for separation and spreading of multiple lanes.
Roll Body
A lightweight aluminum roll body engineered with optimized geometry for exceptional fastening strength, delivering fast response thanks to low starting weight and minimal inertia.
Customizable
Every Armadillo Roll is custom-engineered to your exact diameter and length requirements, ensuring a perfect fit for your production line.
Ready for use
Delivered pre-configured for your system and ready to run instantly, without the need for external drives or setup adjustments.
