To check whether a roll fits your holder, compare the new roll's dimensions with those the holder accepts. Paper length does not reveal diameter: two rolls of equal length can occupy different amounts of space. First find the dispenser's brand and model or the reference of the refill you already use.
Identify how the paper is dispensed
On a spindle holder, the roll turns and unwinds from the outside. In a centre-feed dispenser, paper comes through the centre of a refill designed for that system. The Tork catalogue distinguishes specific systems and refills: an example of why the model matters, not just size. Do not claim another roll is Tork-compatible without confirmation.
The three measurements to record
| Measurement | Where to check | What to compare it with |
|---|---|---|
| Paper width | From edge to edge along the roll's central axis. | The refill width accepted by the holder. |
| Outer diameter | Across the circle of a new roll, through its centre. | The maximum roll diameter accepted by the dispenser. |
| Core | The central tube. Check the internal diameter stated on the data sheet. | The core required by the holding system. |
If the old roll is nearly finished, its current outer diameter cannot tell you the space needed for a full refill. Do not confuse paper width with the dispenser's overall width either. Record everything in the same unit: 23 cm equals 230 mm.
Prepare an enquiry that allows the fit to be checked
- Holder brand and model, if shown on its label.
- The reference of your previous roll.
- Accepted width, maximum diameter and core, according to the instructions.
- Dispensing type: outside unwind on a spindle or centre feed.
- An overall photo and a label photo to email our team.
If the manual is missing, send the details you have and identify any measurements you took yourself. This helps check fit without presenting approximate dimensions as confirmed compatibility.
What we know about SIC Refinish's 400 m roll
The two-roll 400 m reference states a 23 cm width and 76 mm core. Its outer diameter and fit with your holder must be confirmed before choosing it as a refill. Do not force the fit or remove the core to adapt a product whose dispensing system is unconfirmed.
After dimensions, check the paper
Fit is one part of the choice. Check composition and the performance your task requires in the industrial paper roll selection guide. For local service, explore industrial paper in Barcelona and send us your dispenser details.
