Wax<br />

A coating of wax is applied at set periods during the day to help keep the beds and gaps<br />

clean and lubricated. The wax is applied by putting a special waxing cloth through the<br />

calender. This waxing cloth has an abrasive underside to scour and clean the beds, and a<br />

fabric flap on the topside under which the wax is applied. Lubricating the beds prevents<br />

work from puckering and reduces the load on the drive motor.<br />

Roll<br />

The calender roll is a rigid cylinder covered with a layer of springs, and then with resilient<br />

padding or clothing. The roll is usually hollow so that water vapour from the clothing and<br />

damp items being processed can be drawn through perforations and removed via a<br />

vacuum exhaust system at the end of the roll.<br />
