Industrial Rubber Rollers
Rubber covered rollers for industrial machinery, including printing rollers, paper rollers, paper feed rollers and twist rollers. Covering materials are EPDM, silicone rubber, PU rubber and SBR, chosen for the surface the roller has to grip or coat and the conditions it works in.

Product Overview
Rubber covered rollers for industrial machinery, including printing rollers, paper rollers, paper feed rollers and twist rollers. Covering materials are EPDM, silicone rubber, PU rubber and SBR, chosen for the surface the roller has to grip or coat and the conditions it works in. Conveyor rollers move products and raw materials, and coating rollers apply coatings or laminates to surfaces.
Key Benefits
- Four covering materials so the roller surface suits the job rather than the other way round
- Printing, paper feed, twist, conveyor and coating roller types
- Covers tailored to specific industry requirements
- Designed for low maintenance to limit downtime
- Recovering of existing roller cores possible
Problems It Solves
- Roller covers that glaze or wear and lose grip
- Covering material unsuitable for the inks, solvents or temperatures used
- Machine downtime from frequent roller changes
- Rollers no longer available from the original machine supplier

Customisation Options
What Can Be Varied
- Covering material for the media and temperature
- Hardness for grip and nip pressure
- Diameter, face length and crown to drawing
- Surface finish and any grooving
- New roller or recovering of your existing core
Compared With The Alternatives
| Silicone versus PU covering | Silicone handles higher temperatures and releases well; polyurethane is far more abrasion resistant and holds nip pressure better in mechanical duty. |
|---|---|
| Replacing the whole roller | Recovering an existing core is usually cheaper and quicker than a new roller, provided the core and journals are still sound. |
Use Guide
- Send the old roller or its drawing including journal dimensions
- State the media, temperature and line speed so the compound can be chosen
- Specify hardness where nip pressure matters
- Have rollers ground and balanced before fitting at speed
Questions
Questions Buyers Ask About This Product
Which covering materials do you offer?
EPDM, silicone rubber, PU rubber and SBR.
What roller types can you supply?
Printing rollers, paper rollers, paper feed rollers and twist rollers, as well as conveyor and coating rollers.
Can you recover our existing cores?
Send the core dimensions and condition and we will confirm. Recovering is usually cheaper than a new roller.
How do I choose the hardness?
From the nip pressure and the surface being handled. Tell us both and we will recommend.
Are the rollers ground to finish?
Rollers are finished to the drawing. Specify the surface finish and any crown with the enquiry.
