From bare shaft to balanced roller.
-
01
Sandblast
The core is stripped and profiled on our sandblasting plant to give the bonding agent a surface it can grip for the life of the roller.
-
02
Bond
A bonding agent is applied to the prepared metal, matched to the compound and the operating environment of the roller.
-
03
Build
Rubber or ebonite compound is built up on our roller-building machines to the specified hardness and diameter allowance.
-
04
Grind & Polish
The roller is ground and polished to final diameter, straightness and surface finish tolerance.
-
05
Balance
Dynamic balancing confirms the finished roller runs true at operating speed before it ships.
