Convex urethane rollers are used in a wide variety of industrial applications. Convex urethane rollers typically will taper on each half of the roller with a steel or stainless core for bearing applications or a bronze bushing may be installed. Common places you see convex urethane rollers are on boat trailers and industrial packaging equipment. The convex part of the roll will be machined and any profile needed for the loading application and may be achieved at our in-house machine shop. Any durometer or color is no problem for Plan Tech.
Convex urethane rollers are an ideal choice for high demand applications or in extreme weather. Urethane will also absorb an impact and return to its original size even after years of repeated abuse. Convex urethane rollers are found in all different lengths and outside dimensions which we have the expertise to manufacture. Tight tolerances or FDA urethane additives for food grade requirements are also available. We also can strip and recoat worn out rollers. Most customers have noted significant improvement in operations once the convex rollers were treated with urethane.
If we find that your convex urethane rollers are completely worn out, no longer true or warped we can machine new ones and recover the roller with urethane so they are back to where you started. Machining cast urethane parts require specialized equipment and training. Here at Plan Tech we make all of our own molds in-house for speed, accuracy, and precision. We control the entire process from design to manufacturing. Mold making is at the very core of what we do. Our machine shop includes CNC Lathes, Mills and Grinders for machining cast urethane parts. We also have manual mills as well as a sheet metal and welding area. We have a Flow Waterjet with 48×96 inch sheet capabilities and can cut a list of materials like Polyurethane, Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon fiber, and most plastics.
