CASCADE CAST Excellent general purpose pad for most paper types including newsprint, kraft, tissue (see tissue section), gypsum board facing, dry-lap (rolled pulp), white printing and lithographic/fine paper. Diamond pattern provides a multi-purpose gripping surface. Orientation of diamond pattern provides excellent friction in horizontal and vertical directions. G-Series ribs add inter-layer friction which will help prevent telescoping. (Available only with standard size G-series pads.) Available in standard size as a cast pad, other sizes as fabricated. Not recommended for large kraft rolls with high recycled content approaching maximum clamp capacity. For this application use the ribbed cast pad (see page 2). Not recommended for slick stock. Suitable for virgin or medium recycled kraft in average capacity applications. Choose the optional cast surface on the G-Series if unwrapped fine paper is to be handled. \ Note: Optional sized pads for G-Series clamps will be Cascade Cast without ribs.

Provides very low roll surface pressure. plate with flexible backing Flexipad surface pad pivot 10
DENSITY BASED TISSUE PAD SELECTION Tissue paper can be divided into three categories, each of which should use a different style pad. Choosing the correct tissue pad type can be simplified by using a technique based on the density of the paper roll. The density based solution is based on how the tissue interacts with the pad as shown in the graphic to the right. Note the tissue flowing around the pad in the case of the convex pad and soft tissue. Conversely, the dense tissue holds its shape and is best handled with a pad of similar radius to the roll. The following pages outline Cascade's three tissue pad offerings. Single Radius for use on high density tissue, such as service toweling Double Diameter for use on medium density tissue, such as toweling Tissue Type Typical Paper Types Recommended Pad High Density Service toweling-hard surface Single Radius Medium Density toweling, facial, toilet Double Diameter Low Density Ultra Soft Tissue soft toilet, facial (TAD paper) Convex Convex for use on low density tissue, such as ultra soft tissue (TAD paper) 11
TISSUE, SINGLE RADIUS Dense tissue such as industrial toweling. Cascade Cast surface provides excellent friction surface. Large corner radius prevents cutting of tissue. Large surface area to minimize roll deformation. Round bar around perimeter prevents tearing. Pad size is generally smaller than convex but larger than standard pads. As a general rule, pad length should be 70% of roll height. Not recommended for medium or soft tissues. Can be used in applications where narrow width rolls are handled. concave surface to match maximum roll diameter Cascade Cast surface Note: Choosing the correct tissue pad depends on the density of the tissue roll. Consult Cascade for this analysis when choosing a tissue pad. round bar prevents tearing Cascade Cast surface large radiused corners 12
TISSUE, DOUBLE DIAMETER Medium density tissue such as common facial and toweling grades. Cascade Cast surface provides excellent surface friction. Available with or without flared end. Flared end recommended to reduce cutting of tissue at pad ends. Round bar around perimeter prevents tearing. concave surface formed at twice the maximum roll diameter Optional flared ends Pad length and width greater than standard pad. As a general rule, pad length should be 70% of roll height. Flared end not recommended for narrow rolls less than 20" wide. Note: Choosing the correct tissue pad depends on the density of the tissue roll. Consult Cascade for this analysis when choosing a tissue pad. Cascade Cast surface round bar prevents tearing Cascade Cast surface hardened wear surface large radiused corners full length wear surface 13
TISSUE, CONVEX Low-density, soft tissue such as facial, toilet tissue and soft toweling. Convex surface with round bar perimeter provides a smooth transition during roll deflection to prevent tearing. Flared ends prevent cutting of tissue. Available without flared ends to allow handling of narrow rolls. Hardened wear surface prevents pad wear caused by floor contact. convex surface gradually flattens and flares at end Relatively large pad to distribute clamping force over larger area of roll. As a general rule, the length of the pad should be equal to 70% of the height of a full parent roll. The width should be proportional to paper's softness. Flared end is not suggested for narrow rolls (less than 25" wide). Use standard convex tissue pad without end flare for narrow rolls. Do not use convex pad on hard stock. Contact pad surface is coated with spray metal. Note: Choosing the correct tissue pad depends on the density of the tissue roll. Consult Cascade for this analysis when choosing a tissue pad. round bar transition convex design prevents tearing Spray Metal surface hardened wear surface on ends end view 14
