A method and configuration for automated operation of a two-roll mill. Also provided is a method for continuous or semi-continuous operation of a two-roll mill.

The present invention is a method and apparatus for quick and easy rubber sleeve exchanges on chill rolls, such as are used in film extrusion processes. The apparatus includes chill roll or mandrel, a rubber sleeve covering the exterior face of the mandrel, an automated cantilever system, and an air booster. The rubber sleeve is easily removed by tilting the mandrel and inserting a layer of air between the rubber sleeve and the mandrel, thereby allowing the sleeve to slip off the mandrel and allowing for a new rubber sleeve to be placed onto the mandrel.

A bearing is provided which supports an inner pipe flange part. An end face flange is formed so as to be inclined on a center of an inner flange part as a supporting point and a load is applied by a pushing and pulling device through the bearing in a direction intersecting at right angles to an axial direction of a roll to incline the end face flanges at both sides by prescribed angles. Thus, a rotation moment is applied to an end face of the outer cell to adjust a crown of the outer cell.

The invention relates to a temperature-controllable calender roller for manufacturing an electrode track using the dry electrode method; having a roller body and two roller journals extending away from the end face thereof; and having a fluid channel arrangement for temperature control of the roller body, which has a central bore extending axially at least in sections through the roller body and through at least one of the roller journals and a plurality of temperature control channels distributed over the circumference of the roller body, extending below the roller body surface and parallel thereto, which are fluidically coupled to the central bore; and having an inlet line and an outlet line for a thermal fluid, which are connected to the fluid channel arrangement, wherein the inlet line has a feed pipe extending at least in sections into the central bore for introducing the thermal fluid into the fluid channel arrangement, and wherein the outlet line is fluidically coupled to an outlet gap of the fluid channel arrangement formed between the outside of the feed pipe and the inner diameter of the central bore.
