Metal finish & speciality rollers
SS cladding rollers
Rollers with a stainless steel shell or cladding, for guide, idler and process positions where corrosion, cleanliness or a polished metal surface are needed.
About our SS cladding rollers
SS cladding gives a durable, corrosion-resistant surface that suits wet, humid and food-adjacent environments. The surface is ground and polished to the finish required, and rollers can be balanced for high-speed lines.
Rollers are built to your drawing or to match an existing roller, with journals machined to suit your bearings.

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.

FAQ
SS Cladding Roller: common questions
When should I choose SS cladding over hard chrome plating?
SS cladding gives corrosion resistance through the full shell thickness and suits wet or washdown areas. Hard chrome gives a harder, mirror-like surface for chill, embossing and lamination rollers.
