Rubber Rollers - Properties And Applications

Rubber rollers are elastomer bonded to metal core or a solid rubber. It is an integral component of the industrial processing applications and the rubber rollers are suitable for many purposes. The rubber rollers facilitate smooth movement in machine parts and it provides transportation and support to material movement. Rubber rollers are used in conveyor systems, printing press, web converters, stamping press, bending machines, feeding machines and more. It is also used in a host of applications like packaging, heat treating, bulk material, embossing, calendaring, packaging, coating, drying and bulk material handling.

Industrial rubber rollers are made of molding or casting and sometimes even by extrusion process. The molding processes of compression and injection molding are common for industrial rubber rollers. Heavy industries like mining use rubber rollers in their conveyor systems. Oil and gas industry also depends on V Shaped rubber rollers for pipelays and transportation. The distinct modern advantage is its durability and susceptibility to rust, cracks and other damages.

Rubber is resilient and handles heavy weights thereby being highly flexible. Moreover it provides equal weight distribution throughout the roller instead of focusing on one pressure point. Rubber rollers come in different sizes and shapes like hourglass, V shape, conveyor belt rollers, pipe conveyor rollers, paper mill rollers, sheave roller and customized specifications.
