Rubber Roller Recoating

Rubber roller recoating restores performance by replacing the existing rubber covering with a new material matched to your application.

Over time, the rubber on a roller can wear beyond usable limits, harden, crack, or lose the properties required for consistent performance. Recoating addresses these issues by removing the existing covering and applying a new rubber compound built for your process conditions.

What Rubber Roller Recoating Involves

Recoating focuses on replacing the outer rubber layer while retaining the existing core when it remains structurally sound. This process may include:

  • Removal of the existing rubber covering
  • Inspection of the core for integrity and dimensional accuracy
  • Surface preparation to ensure proper bonding
  • Application of a new rubber compound based on your application
  • Grinding to final dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish

The goal is to deliver a roller that performs like new, with material properties aligned to your production environment.

When Recoating Makes Sense

Recoating is often the right approach when:

  • The rubber covering is worn, damaged, or no longer performing
  • There is cracking, hardening, or material degradation
  • The roller requires a different material for improved performance
  • The core is still in good condition and can be reused

Replacing the covering allows you to restore performance without the cost or lead time of a completely new roller.
