What is a rubber roller?

A roller product made of a metal or other material core, covered with rubber that has been vulcanized.     Rubber rollers can be customized according to user needs, with hardness ranging from 50 to 99 degrees, any color available, and temperature resistance from -100 degrees to 300 degrees. Different formulations of rubber rollers can produce various performance characteristics.

The production process of rubber rollers generally includes four steps: 1. Rubber roller iron core 2. Rubber roller molding and coating 3. Rubber roller vulcanization  4. Rubber roller grinding. Therefore, please allow us 3-5 days of processing time after placing your order. Please do not request delivery the next day immediately after placing an order, as the manufacturing of rubber rollers itself requires this long processing time. Any rubber roller factory operates the same way; it is impossible to deliver the next day. If you are in a hurry, please contact our customer service when placing your order to explain the situation, and we will arrange production as quickly as possible, which will take at least 3 days. Depending on the quantity of your order, large volume users can have staggered deliveries.

Classification of rubber rollers

According to applications, they can be divided into paper-making rubber rollers, printing and dyeing rubber rollers, printing rubber rollers, grain processing rubber rollers, metallurgy rubber rollers, and oil printing rubber rollers, etc.;

 According to surface form, they can be divided into flat rollers and patterned rubber rollers;

 According to materials, they can be divided into butyl rubber rollers, nitrile rubber rollers, polyurethane rubber rollers, and silicone rubber rollers, etc.

Generally composed of outer rubber, hard rubber layer, metal core, roller neck, and ventilation holes.

The rubber roller you use needs to be used in what environment and what performance it needs to have. Koyi Rubber Roller Factory will choose the appropriate coating material based on Your Requests, the key is that it suits you. A good rubber roller will save you a lot of time and create more value for your production!

In which industries are rubber rollers used?

Rubber rollers are mainly used in industries such as paper-making, printing and dyeing, printing, grain processing, metallurgy, and plastic processing.

The printing industry mainly uses printing rubber rollers, which are generally made of rubber as the coating material;

The metallurgy industry mainly uses polyurethane rubber rollers, as polyurethane rubber rollers have high wear resistance, making them more durable than rubber rollers;

Printing and dyeing rubber rollers generally require good ink resistance and corrosion resistance;

Silicone rollers are generally used in high-temperature environments.

How to use rubber rollers

1. Newly cast rubber rollers should not be put into use immediately. Since the internal structure of newly cast rubber rollers is not yet stable, using them immediately can easily reduce their lifespan. Therefore, newly produced rubber rollers should be placed for a period of time to allow them to stabilize after being exposed to the external environment's temperature and humidity, which can increase the toughness of the rubber, thereby improving durability.

2. Correct storage of idle rubber rollers. Rubber rollers that are to be used should be cleaned thoroughly, wrapped in plastic film, and placed on a rubber roller rack. They should not be casually piled together or leaned against a wall, to avoid unnecessary damage to the rubber. Waste rubber rollers should not be thrown, placed haphazardly, or pressed heavily during transportation for processing and casting, to ensure that the roller core remains centered and straight, ensuring normal use of the roller core.

3. The rubber roller shaft head and bearings should be kept well lubricated. We know that the precision of the rubber roller shaft head and bearings directly affects the ink transfer and application effect. Poor lubrication can lead to wear and gaps in the rubber roller shaft head and bearings, which will inevitably result in uneven ink color during printing. It can also cause issues like jumping or slipping of the rubber, leading to printing streaks. Therefore, lubricating oil should be added regularly to the rubber roller shaft head and bearings to prevent wear and ensure the normal use of the rubber roller, ensuring printing quality.
