Elsmart Web Guiding and Spreading
Guide profiles around a roller’s circumference steer the fabric. With segmented profiles, both guide plates move together, so the same unit guides and spreads the web – gently enough for almost any textile process.

How it works
How It Works
Guide and Spread
In the basic version the guide profiles are fixed to a guide plate moved sideways by an actuator. With segmented profiles, both guide plates are linked by a push rod and moved together – guiding the web while spreading it out.
