The purpose of this study is to get optimum design and operation conditions of the heating rubber roller for laminating process. The cause of performance degradation of heating rubber roller is delamination of rubber on metal tube, rubber aging due to high temperature. We measured the material properties of thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, specific heat and density and analyzed thermal distributions of rubber layer using finite element method. As a result of heat/flow analysis, the density distribution of heating coil must shorten the stabilization time by reducing the temperature deviation on the length direction at the temperature rising section after increasing the density of the area contacting with the laminate film at the center part which is an opposite of the current composition while enabling to maintain the temperature of heater to be consistent while maintaining the temperature deviation to be low when heat loss is created. Finally, we determined optimum heating method of heating rubber roller.

The heating roller of an actual pulse output device (POD) production facility is composed of a steel roller and a rubber roller. The time to reach a specific temperature and the temperature distribution on the roller surface were analyzed and compared according to the change in the number of cartridge heaters inside the heating roller. In this analysis, a steady-state thermal analysis of a steel roller was performed for the cases of a 5-cartridge heater and 9-cartridge heater. Finite element analysis was applied with reference to the surface temperature data of the heating roller during operation and the calorific value of the cartridge heater. Using the 9-cartridge heater, faster target temperature achievement and more uniform temperature distribution were confirmed than for the 5-cartridge heater.
