Question 1

Do you re-cover existing rubber rollers?

Our standard roller compounds are AU 40 Shore (red and black), AU 60 Shore (red and black), AU A38 pink premium, premium 60 Shore pink high-silica, bromobutyl for chemical resistance, and nitrile for oil/fuel resistance. We can also formulate custom compounds for specific applications.

Question 3

Standard re-covers typically take 1–2 weeks once the roller arrives at our Boksburg facility. Critical-path rollers can be expedited — let us know your requirements when requesting a quote.
