Thermal Regime Aspects when Grinding Rubber Rolls for Paper Industry

Abstract

The paper investigates the thermal regime when grinding largerubber parts that are used like coat for rollers in paper industry. In order to analyse the variation of workpiece temperature when finishing grinding of the rollers rubber coat a full factorial design of experiments was used considering the cutting parameters as independent variables. The proper selection of cutting conditions for the grinding of large rubber rolls should take into consideration the thermal regime and the workpiece temperature variation because it is well known that this material is extremely sensitive to high temperature exposure and that build-up of rubber on the face of the grinding wheel may occur. In the experiments, abundant flow of cutting fluids is used.

Impact of the Environmental Factors and its Effects on Productivity and Health

“…Existing studies have documented these biological effects [17], [18]. Employees with complaints of discomfort and dissatisfaction at work could have their productivity affected, result of their inability to perform their work properly [15], [16]. It should be noted that optimal performance (productivity) does not necessarily occur under optimal thermal comfort conditions, because the productivity is strongly dependent on the nature of the performed task [2].…”
