New and Recovered Rollers

New manufacture

Whether you require small or large quantities, you can depend on Ames Direct. By manufacturing new custom rollers, you benefit from:

• Ability to design your machine knowing we can customise rollers to fit (we can provide you with proprietary parts);
• Manufacture is kept local to support the economy, rather than sent overseas;
• Fast and efficient leadtime.

Recover/Refurbish

This is a common, effective solution that retains the original shaft of the roller, and we will remove worn or damaged coating, and refurbish to ‘as new’ condition. Benefits include:

• Reduce costs (only roller material replaced);
• Reduce outlay (smaller quantities economical);
• Improve performance (we can actually make a recovered roller better than new by altering the compound);
• Decrease capital expenditure (keep ageing machines operating).

Materials

The vast array of situations requires a range of materials to be available, and we have a large quantity of different material types.

• Polyurethane in all hardnesses from 30a to 93a duro. A superior replacement to rubber with excellent abrasion resistance and outstanding durability.
• Rubbers in many different hardnesses and types, such as EPDM, Nitrile, NBR, natural and foam.
• Silicone for exceptional temperature applications (-80°C to +260°C).
• Engineered plastics such as nylon, acetal, and UHMWPE for applications requiring a harder product.

Both hard and softer materials can be machined to exacting tolerances, in any shape
or form. Roller shafts range from stainless and mild steel to self-lubricating plastics such as cast nylons, acetals and UHMWPE.
