Transfer Rolls
Urethane Transfer Rolls
Universal Urethane manufactures urethane transfer rolls engineered to move strip and sheet smoothly between processing stages. Designed to maintain precise strip handling, our transfer rolls combine controlled grip, surface protection, and long wear life under continuous-duty operation.
Core Construction
Transfer roll reliability starts with a precision-machined core designed to maintain alignment and balance under continuous loading.
- Core Materials: Steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, manufactured in solid or tubing construction.
- Precision Machining: Journals and bearing seats produced or restored to print for accurate fit and stable performance.
- Journal & Shaft Services: Shaft replacement, weld repair, and press-fit services extend core life.
- Dynamic Balancing: Rolls dynamically balanced after machining and covering for smooth operation at line speeds.
- Complete Assemblies: Available as full assemblies with shafts, bearings, couplings, and covers for direct installation.
Urethane Covering
The urethane covering provides traction and cushioning to ensure smooth strip transfer without marking.
- Durometer Range: Custom polyurethane hardness, typically 85–95 Shore A for wear resistance and controlled grip.
- Surface Finish: Smooth ground for non-marking handling, rough-ground finishes for additional traction in oily or wet conditions.
- Grooved Options: Diamond, helix, herringbone, spiral, chevron, checkerboard, and crepe profiles available for traction and fluid shedding.
- Performance Properties: High abrasion resistance, impact absorption, and non-marring contact across continuous strip transfer.
- Bonding & Cure: Covers applied to grit-blasted cores with primer adhesives and heat curing for permanent adhesion and long-term durability.
Performance in Coil Processing
Transfer rolls are critical to moving material seamlessly between stations. Universal Urethane transfer rolls are designed to:
- Provide smooth, consistent strip transfer without surface damage.
- Maintain strip stability across pass lines and processing stations.
- Deliver grip and control under varied load and speed conditions.
- Resist wear, impact, and chemical exposure for extended service intervals.
Maintenance & Recovering Services
Universal Urethane extends transfer roll service life with complete recovery and refurbishment programs.
- Recovering: Worn covers stripped, cores inspected, and new urethane applied to OEM or upgraded specifications.
- Rebuild Process: Cleaning, NDT inspection, grinding, balancing, and finishing performed to print.
- Service Options: Standard and expedited turnaround available with pickup and delivery.
Applications
- Coil and sheet transfer stations
- Pass lines in coil processing systems
- Web-handling and material transport systems
