Sperrholztrommel

Precisely wound- The Gebhardt plywood drums ensure optimum winding patterns.

The GEBAHRDT plywood drums have a particularly precisely manufactured plywood core and are suitable as disposable drums. The stable plywood core ensures the best possible winding patterns and contributes significantly to the prevention of radial run-out.  The combination of cardboard core inside and plywood core outside supports the stability of the flanges and counteracts cupping of the material. Multiple riveting to connect the components completes the smart and stable, load-bearing design. The result is a drum that can be wound either conventionally within a manual process or by a fully automatic system without any problems or interruptions.

Convince yourself of the advantages of GEBHARDT plywood drums!

  • Best possible winding patterns to avoid radial runout
  • Suitable for fully automatic winding
