When a roller wears out, recover (re-cover the shaft) or replace it. What Recovering Involves New rubber on a healthy shaft, then regrinding to spec.
Shore hardness measures rubber firmness (usually Shore A) and affects grip, pressure, and output. The Shore A Scale Soft (20–40A), medium (50–70A), hard (80–95A). Choosing
Material choice drives roller life and performance. NBR Oil resistance, economical. EPDM Weather/chemical resistance. Silicone High temperature, release. Polyurethane (PU) Abrasion and load resistance, precision.
A rubber roller is a metal core (shaft) covered with a rubber/elastomer layer, used in machines that press, feed, coat, or transfer material. Main Components
