Rubber Rollers or Custom Cast Polyurethane? Industrial Roller Review

There are many types of industrial rollers out there, but finding the industrial roller that's right for your business can be a challenge.

 How do you know whether you need custom cast polyurethane rollers or custom molded rubber rollers?

Read on to discover the industrial roller that fit your industry requirements.

Polyurethane Rollers

Cast polyurethane rollers are made from the highest quality polymers available. Specific tooling allows us to make hundreds of shapes and sizes of urethane rollers.

For example, with very little setup, companies can manufacture hourglass shaped rollers or V-shaped rollers, conveyor belt rollers, pipe conveyor rollers, sheave rollers, paper mill rollers and many more.

These polyurethane rollers can be made of differing thicknesses, sizes, colors and hardness from Shore 10A to 80D materials. Also see our complete collection of polyurethane products.

Conveyor Rollers

You'll want to make sure your conveyor rollers are made from the highest quality polymers available, and that the manufacturer can make hundreds of shapes and sizes of conveyor rollers. Fortunately, these rollers can be made of many different thicknesses, sizes, colors and hardness from shore 10A to 80D.

Pipeline Rollers

Pipeline Rollers are used with various oilfield and marine applications, but have grown to meet the needs of virtually every industry. Manufacturers can produce just about any size and type of Pipeline Roller.

Rollers can be produced out of a variety of rubbers or urethanes based on specific customer needs, but few companies have the experience and capability to manufacture both polyurethane and rubber Pipeline Rollers at the same facility.

Advantages of Custom Cast Polyurethane

Polyurethane is an extremely versatile elastomer used in countless applications worldwide. Urethane products deliver lots of advantages over other elastomers and plastics - it is stronger, tougher, more durable, and more versatile.

Polyurethane's mechanical properties can be adjusted through chemistry, which creates a number of unique opportunities to solve problems with performance characteristics unequaled in any other material. It’s a better value than parts made with other materials, because they often crack, break, tear, swell, abrade, and deteriorate. As a result, they can damage and slow down your business operation.
