单面瓦楞机辊是瓦楞过程中非常重要的部件。它们产生沟槽介质，这是瓦楞纸板质量的基础。如果允许瓦楞机辊的状况恶化，纸板质量和瓦楞机生产率也会随之恶化。瓦楞辊是空心钢筒，表面加工有齿轮状齿（或凹槽）。整个表面覆盖着一层涂层——通常是铬或碳化钨——保护下面的钢槽不受磨损。在瓦楞辊的运行寿命期间，瓦楞介质的摩擦引起的磨损逐渐磨损辊涂层，使下面的机加工钢齿暴露在磨损之下。

Singlefacer corrugator rolls are very important components in the corrugating process. They produce the fluted medium which is the foundation on which the quality of corrugated board is based. If the condition of the corrugator rolls is allowed to deteriorate, board quality and corrugator productivity will deteriorate with it.Corrugator rolls are hollow steel cylinders, with gearlike teeth (or flutes) machined onto the surface. the entire surface is overlaid with a coating - often chrome or tungsten carbide - which protects the underlying steel flutes from wear. During the running life of a corrugator roll, wear caused by friction from the corrugating medium gradually wears away the roll coating, theus exposing the machined steel teeth underneath to wear.
