How we work
From your old roller or drawing to a roller that runs true
01
Roller review
We check your drawing or old roller, confirm diameter, face length, journals and the hardness you need.
02
Cover selection
A cover compound is proposed for the inks, chemicals and temperatures your roller sees in service.
03
Core and covering
The core is prepared or made new, then the cover is applied without porosity and cured.
04
Grinding and inspection
Ground true to the bearing seats, finished as specified, and checked for hardness and run-out before dispatch.
