Roller Manufacturers
Impact rollers, or simply rollers, serve as a guidance and support system commonly used in conjunction with conveyor belt systems. These rollers are strategically placed in areas of high impact stress, such as loading and transfer points, to provide additional protection to the conveyor system. Beyond impact rollers, a wide range of other rubber rollers are available for various applications across industries, including woodworking, newspaper and print, plastic fabrication, medical equipment, and material handling (conveyor systems). Selecting the right roller manufacturer that specializes in the type of roller you need—whether it be an impact roller, urethane roller, or another specialty type—can make the difference between a good product and a great one.
Impact rollers assist conveyor belt systems in efficiently handling their loads, while guide rollers protect objects on conveyor systems and help align drawers, doors, fences, and similar components. Urethane rollers in the printing industry ensure ink is pressed onto paper uniformly. Since each of these rollers serves a distinct purpose, specialized manufacturers focus on designing rollers tailored to specific applications. A guide roller cannot function effectively in an impact roller application due to its different shell diameter and thinner rubber layer. Conversely, an impact roller, with its smaller core diameter and thicker rubber layer for absorbing impact, would not work well in a guide roller application.
