Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used in plastic film processing
Rollers for calendering plastic sheets fall under parts of machinery for plastics due to primary material processing.
If for paper processing machines
Cylinders for paper calendering are classified under unlisted machines for paper making, not textiles.
If heated via steam jacket
Steam-heated rollers may classify as parts of machinery for treatment of textiles by heat if integral to heating function.
