Definition of calendering in English English dictionary
a manufacturing process by which some polymeric membranes and other sheetings are produced
A process by which fabric or wire is passed through a pair of heavy rolls to reduce thickness, to flatten the intersections of the threads/wires and to control air permeability Rolls are heated when calendering synthetic materials
A process for finishing fabrics in which such special effects as high luster, glazing, embossing, and moiré are produced
A process for finishing fabrics in which such special effects as high luster, glazing, embossing, and moiré are produced
the process of running paper between polished steel rolls on the paper machine to produce a desired smoothness Uncoated paper is calendered in this sequence from roughest to smoothest: Vellum, Antique, Wove, Smooth (Note: Superior smoothness and gloss can also be accomplished off machine by supercalender equipment )
A thin layer of rubber inside the tire casing which covers the carcass cords to protect them from moisture and to protect the tube from chafing by the cord body In tubeless tires, calendering consists of a layer of air proof butyl rubber
A fabric finishing process that creates high luster, glazing and moiré effects
A process for finishing fabrics in which such special effects as high luster, glazing, embossing, and moiré are produced
A mechanical finishing process for fabrics to produce special effects such as high luster, glazing and moiré Fabric is passed between heated rolls under pressure
Process in which untreated paper is passed between two rolls at very high pressure to give the paper a glazed finish
process through which paper is progressively compacted and smoothed by being squeezed between large, cast-iron rollers on the papermaking machine
Process of smoothing and compressing a material (notably paper) during production by passing a continuous sheet through a number of pairs of heated rolls. The rolls in combination are called calenders; they are made of hardened steel or steel covered with fiber. In paper production, they typically exert a pressure of 500 lbs per linear in. (89 kg per cm). Coated papers are calendered to obtain a smooth, glossy finish. Calendering is also widely used in the manufacture of textiles, coated fabrics, and plastic sheeting
(1) a finishing process that flattens one or both sides of a screen mesh reducing mesh thickness and opening size; (2) a way of manufacturing plastic sheets by first converting the resins into a dough like mass then passing it between heated pressure rollers to form a sheet with a glossy or textured surface; (3) a method of producing a very high gloss surface on paper stock by passing the sheet between a series of pressure rollers
A process where a warm doughy mass of plastics material is passed between a series of rollers and emerges as flat film or sheet
A process of passing cloth between rollers (or "calendars"), usually under carefully controlled heat and pressure, to produce a variety of surface textures or effects in fabric
To press between rollers for the purpose of making smooth and glossy, or wavy, as woolen and silk stuffs, linens, paper etc., as in the homonymous machine
A machine, used for the purpose of giving cloth, paper etc., a smooth, even, and glossy or glazed surface, by cold or hot pressure, or for watering them and giving them a wavy appearance; it consists of two or more cylinders revolving nearly in contact, with the necessary apparatus for moving and regulating
(machine calender) (1) a configuration of heated rollers used for flattening one or both sides of synthetic screen printed fabrics; (2) to prepare sheets of material by pressure between two or more counter rotating rolls; (3) a set of cast iron rollers with highly polished surfaces situated at the dry end of a paper making machine
(wire cloth) - To pass wire cloth through a pair of rollers to reduce thickness or flatten intersections of wires and provide a smooth surface Also called rolled
A group or "stack" of rollers through which sheet material is passed, under controlled conditions of heat, pressure and/or time, in order to give the material thickness, coating or surface finish
Stack of horizontal cast iron or steel rolls at the end of a paper machine The paper is passed between the rolls to increase the smoothness and gloss of its surface
The paperboard to which some degree of smootheness and gloss has been imparted by passing it between a stack of heavy cast-iron rolls with chilled hardened surface This calendering process makes the paperboard more uniform in thickness
a machine that smoothes or glazes paper or cloth by pressing it between plates or passing it through rollers press between rollers or plates so as to smooth, glaze, or thin into sheets; "calender paper
A machine with three or more internally heated or cooled cylinders used to (1) continuously sheet out polymeric compound or fused PVC (2) to wipe polymeric compound into the interstices of a fabric leaving a small portion of it on the surface of the fabric, or (3) to lay a continuous sheet of compound on a fabric
a machine with two or more counter-rotating steel rollers used for laminating sheeting or skim coating (topping) to a controlled thickness or surface characteristic, or both
A machine equipped with two or more metal rolls revolving in opposite directions and used for continuously sheeting or plying up rubber and plastics compounds and for frictioning or coating materials with rubber and plastics compounds
A calender refers to the use of two rolls, or calenders, that squeeze paper in order to smooth the surface Often a sheet is run between a series of calenders that squeeze the sheet in several directions, smoothing the surface in every possible direction
