Abstract
An embossing cylinder (10) comprising a central cylindrical body (11) and supports for bearings (12, 12′) projecting laterally from the circular ends of the central cylindrical body (11), wherein the central cylindrical body (11) comprises an internal cylindrical portion (13) and a coating (14), the coating (14) being provided molten on the internal cylindrical portion (13) and being made of softer material than the material that forms the internal cylindrical portion (13), easy to engrave and with high resistance against abrasion.
Claims4
Embossing cylinder comprising a central cylindrical body and supports projecting laterally from the circular ends of said central cylindrical body, characterised in that said central cylindrical body comprises an internal cylindrical portion and a coating, said coating being provided molten on said internal cylindrical portion and being made of softer material than the material that forms said internal cylindrical portion, easy to engrave and with high resistance against abrasion.
Method for modifying the embossed pattern of an embossing cylinder comprising the following steps:
- a) providing—in molten state—a coating on said embossing cylinder, said coating being made of softer material than the material that forms said embossing cylinder, easy to engrave and with high resistance against abrasion.
- b) engraving said coating according to any embossed pattern.
