For a system maintenance engineer, identifying these little problems with big consequences can be difficult and time-consuming.
EZ-Nip, a thin colour-changing pressure-activated paper, is an easy and efficient troubleshooting tool that can quickly be put to the task of detecting problem areas.
EZ-Nip determines the actual working, static, nip width between two mating rolls.
The paper immediately changes colour upon the application of pressure, enabling the user to easily analyse/measure the nip "footprint" (nip width) both visually or, for more intense scrutiny, with a ruler or micrometer.
This measurement then allows the technician to adjust roll pressures accordingly to achieve the proper nip alignment.
EZ-Nip is an extremely economical and practical solution for determining proper crowns, roll parallelism and alignment, and symmetrical loading.
EZ-Nip is a self contained single sheet system making it useable by just one person, and can easily be encased for waterproofing purposes.
EZ-Nip is strictly designed for measuring nip width.
