Doghat Industrial Rolls

Blind Drill Roll Manufacturer

Blind Drilling

Precision hole patterns for dewatering and press applications.

Service Overview

Blind Drilling

Blind drilling creates controlled hole patterns on roll surfaces to support dewatering, pressure distribution, and sheet handling in selected paper machine applications. Pattern selection considers roll position, covering type, hole size, depth, pitch, and operating duty.

Blind Drilling service for industrial and paper machine rolls

Blind Drilling Service Scope

Blind Drilling creates controlled hole patterns on selected roll surfaces to support dewatering, pressure distribution, and press-section performance. Doghat plans Blind Drilling by reviewing hole diameter, depth, pitch, pattern, rubber covering thickness, hardness, and machine position.

Blind Drilling is not the same as ordinary drilling because the holes are engineered for surface behavior and do not pass fully through the roll. Doghat provides Blind Drilling for BDR press rolls, couch rolls, and other paper machine applications where drainage and moisture handling need controlled pattern design.

Problems Solved

  • Poor dewatering or moisture handling in press applications
  • Need for controlled drainage without through-drilling
  • Surface pattern requirement for BDR press roll performance

Key Benefits

  • Improved dewatering support
  • Controlled press-section surface behavior
  • Custom pattern planning for machine duty
