										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the most populous state in New England. It borders on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Maine to the east, Connecticut and Rhode Island to its south; Vermont to the north and New York to the west. Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the industrial Revolution. Massachusetts was the site of early English colonization: the Plymouth Colony founded by the Pilgrims of the Mayflower in 1630 in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.</p>

<p>Here in this historic state, manufacturing companies that use industrial rolls continue to call on MP&amp;P to handle their service and repair needs. They depend on MP&amp;P to help get their industrial rolls back in Massachusetts and on the production line and minimize downtime.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Massachusetts manufacturers know that superior results depend on productivity and quality. MP&amp;P offers powerful solutions to Connecticut manufacturers and that makes the difference in success. For many companies MP&amp;P is more than a service provider, they have become a sound business strategy for industrial roll services.  <strong>Call today: 203-574-5400</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Essential Factors:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Temperature control and stability,</li>
<li>These remain key factors of Heat Transfer Roll health.</li>
<li>With growing performance materials and adherence to international standards, uniform temperature control is essential.</li>
<li>Line speed is directly impacted.</li>
<li>Product quality and consistency are affected.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>When you detect an issue with your heat transfer rolls.</h3>
<p>The key first step is to determine the cause of performance decline.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Basic maintenance: vital to your production:</h3>
<p>Are you adhering to basic maintenance of your heat transfer roll?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The more economical solution:</h3>
<p>When scale build-up, excessive corrosion, and blockages inside the roll are significant, roll refurbish may be a more economical option than de-commissioning or discarding the roll.</p>
<p>At Mirror Polishing &amp; Plating, our goal is to provide you a means to salvage usable components when possible. Removing the outer shell and reconditioning the internal components can be solutions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-1666 alignright" src="https://www.mpp.net/wp-content/uploads/Mpp-July-22.webp" alt="industrial roll repair" width="337" height="215" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>The refurbishing process—30% time savings!</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.mpp.net/services/roll-repair/">Refurbishing</a> a roll typically provides a 30% time savings versus a brand new roll.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>Remove the old outer shell</li>
<li>Evaluate internal assembly to determine if the roll can be repaired</li>
<li>Clean internal assembly and remove old spirals – replace with new spirals</li>
<li>Apply corrosion resistant coating over entire internal assembly flow passages (optional)</li>
<li>Turn and bore new outer shell for proper fit with reconditioned inner assembly</li>
<li>Restore and recondition shaft (if required)</li>
<li>Apply chrome plating or another coating system to complete refurbished heat transfer roll</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are here to help your facility stay productive when it comes to industrial roll performance. Call us today to learn more ways to save time, money and minimize downtime. <strong>203-574-5400</strong></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the more popular roll finishes is the Matte surface finish. This finish is often applied on heat transfer rolls resulting in a non-gloss appearance. An <a href="https://www.mpp.net/services/surface-finishing/matte-finishes/mpp-pre-grain-rolls/">MP&amp;P <u>PreGrain Finish®,</u></a> is also known as a Hard Matte Finish or Satin Finish. It’s roll that is a textured roll <a href="https://www.mpp.net/services/roll-plating/">chrome plated</a>. Whether dull or bright textured surface the surface is deposited with a thin layer of chrome. The silvery toned <a href="https://www.mpp.net/services/roll-plating/">chromium plated</a> surface feels slick to the touch while the surface retains the roughness of the blasted base metal, creating a textured surface with release. The finish formed from PreGrain creates air spaces between the roll and the product being finished and this significantly aids in the release from the roll surface.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="line-height: 115%;">When it comes to finishing industrial rolls for manufacturing production, accuracy in precision is the key factor. Both precise diameter sizes and concentrically make the difference in producing a high-quality finished product.</p>
<p>Very stringent specifications are required to produce the highest quality. Industrial rolls are at work in numerous industries such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Textiles</li>
<li>Steel</li>
<li>Paper</li>
<li>Film</li>
<li>Rubber</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>At MP&amp;P when we produce roll grinding services the benefits include:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Shorter done time for your business.</li>
<li>Uniform surface finishes</li>
<li>Tight tolerances</li>
<li>Lowered maintenance cost</li>
<li>Increased productivity</li>
<li>True-up rollers</li>
<li>Renew concentricity</li>
</ul>
<p>MP&amp;P can grind rolls to surface finishes of 2 Ra and tolerances of 50 millionths TIR (Total Indicator Runout) and shape. That means that the MP&amp;P refinished roll will operate as well (or better) than the original roll once it is back in operation at your facility. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1327" src="https://www.mpp.net/wp-content/uploads/roll-grinding-2.png" alt="" width="236" height="132" /> When your roll arrives, we perform an extensive inspection. Over decades of handling just about every type of roll grinding challenge, our team brings tremendous confidence in meeting the challenge. Our experience allows us to understand required roll grinding process demands set before us. What’s more, we maintain a library of sorts with records of what work we have done for you in the past. This helps us to be totally “familiar” with your rolls when they come to us. That is extremely important because each customer, even if they are in the same industry, is unique in terms of what their rolls need. The value to you of having this kind of historical detail allows us to make determinations on your behalf that would otherwise be impossible. Contact our team today to discuss the challenge you may be facing with your rolls.</p>
