Urethane radius rollers are perfected at Plan Tech with the use of many different custom lathes we have built over the last 30 years. While 95A rollers are much easier to process we have specialized in soft duro (hardness) urethane radius rollers to match any profile or track requirements.
Some special applications require a thru hole with a keyway while most urethane radius rollers will consist of a steel or stainless core for mounting purposes. Plan Tech can strip and recoat existing rollers that have been previously coated or produce new urethane radius rollers with a rapid turn around time.
With Plan Tech’s extensive knowing about machining urethane and our mold making skills, we can achieve high volume urethane radius rollers with tight tolerances for any applications. OEM replacements or new applications are no problems to offer designs with a taper. Urethane offers a variety of advantages versus steel shells. Most notable advantages are shock and impact resistance, non-marking surface and superior cut, tear, and wear resistance.
Urethane will also outperform rubber 3:1 in most applications and is also rated for underwater use. FDA applications are also no problem for Plan tech. From prototype to high volume Plan Tech will assist in making recommendations on material requirements with a variety of additives to tailor the urethane radius rollers for maximum performance and service life. 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. In addition, we have a Flow Water jet with 48×96 inch sheet capabilities and can cut a list of materials like Polyurethane, Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Carbon fiber, and most plastics. We create complex molds for our in-house use as well as many of the components that are molded into customer products. Molds are machined from aluminum or tool steel depending upon tool life requirements. The inserts and cores that we manufacture are made from a wide variety of metals and plastics including UHMW PE, ABS, aluminum and steel.
