Nip Type (each edge of the web) Spreader Roll Description: Nip type spreader rolls are normally short face rolls (less than 12" face) and small diameter (less than 3" diameter).

Each roll set is very similar in design to other nip rolls used in converting (such as drive nips). One of the rolls in each set must be rubber covered (for traction); sometimes both rolls in the set are rubber covered.
