Rubber roller and drive-roller recovering
Glazed, worn, or torn roller covers lose grip and traction, causing slip, mistracking, and dropped throughput on drive and feed rollers.
The need for rubber roller and drive-roller recovering
BHI Coatings performs rubber roller and drive-roller recovering across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. A glazed, worn, or torn roller cover has lost its grip and its traction. On drive and feed rollers that shows up as slip, mistracking, and material dropping out of register. Lost traction shows up as wrinkled web, off-spec product, and dropped throughput, and OEM re-covering pulls the roller out of the line for days.
How BHI Coatings does rubber roller and drive-roller recovering
We resurface rollers cold with a high-grip elastomer that brings the friction profile back. The crew strips the glazed or torn cover, blasts the core to a clean bond profile, then rebuilds the surface to the working diameter in our climate-controlled Alvin shop, where dimensional control is easiest to hold. The elastomer cures cold, so there is no vulcanizing oven and no shipping the roller to an OEM.
The roller goes back into the drive with its grip and traction restored and no OEM re-covering. Drive and feed lines hold their tracking and get back the throughput that slip was costing.
