Rubber Coated Rollers & Pulleys

Sioux Rubber & Urethane can apply an Endurawear® Rubber or Endurawear® Urethane coating, or lagging, to virtually any size pulley or roller. Our rubber lagging is vulcanized to the pulley, or roller, resulting in a bond that will not pull loose even under extreme conditions (unlike many glued-on materials). Sioux Rubber and Urethane can also strip and re-coat your existing rollers at our facility with quick turnaround times.

• Roller rubber coatings available from 0.063” and up in thickness
• Capable of covering rollers up to a 60” diameter and 20’ length
• Special materials or configurations available upon request
• Resurfacing existing rollers or pulleys with rubber or urethane compounds
• Quick turn around on all roller items

What Is a Rubber Roller?
A rubber roller is a machine composed of a metallic tube with a rubber layer. It is used in a variety of manufacturing processes. It helps to accomplish a wide range of mechanical functions in the furniture, food, plastic, and textile industries. It’s most commonly used for printing, steel and paper production, and roll-coating.

Benefits of Rubber Rollers
Unlike other materials, rubber rollers are resistant to changing their shape after repeated use. They also absorb shocks well and resist wear and tear. Rubber rollers are fairly easy to replace and repair, making them perfect for the industrial services in which they are most commonly employed. With high-impact strength and abrasion resistance, rubber rollers are built to last.

Uses of Rubber Rollers
As mentioned, rubber rollers are primarily used in industrial settings. This includes conveyor belts during production times, as they are often valued for their high coefficient of friction. The furniture industry also uses rubber rollers for sanding and pressing operations. The plastic industry uses them to make laminates and film coatings. Textile industries employ them to bleach and dye fabrics. Rollers are used in the food industry for food packaging, while the leather industry uses them for treating their products. Lastly, the glass industry uses rubber rollers for the forming process.

Due to its versatile nature and ability to come in many different finishes, a rubber roller is a precious tool in many manufacturing industries! On top of having a high coefficient of friction, rubber rollers also have high-impact strength, shock absorption, and abrasion resistance. All of these are highly beneficial when it comes to consistent use.
