Urethane Accumulator Rolls: Dependable Performance for Your Production Line
Accumulator Rolls
At Universal Urethane Products, we understand that keeping your factory running is your top priority. Our urethane accumulator rolls are engineered to support continuous operation in roll forming and material handling systems. These rolls are essential for feeding strip material into accumulators using pinch rolls, helping you prevent costly downtime during coil changeovers and coil end welding. With Universal Urethane, you get solutions that keep your line moving and your output steady.
Purpose-Built Accumulator Rolls for High-Performance Operations
Engineered to ensure seamless material handling and tension control in continuous production lines, our accumulator rolls deliver unmatched reliability and precision in the most demanding industrial settings.
- Rough ground textures and diamond groove patterns provide exceptional grip, maintaining control even on oily or contaminated surfaces.
- Precision steel cores, paired with high-performance polyurethane coatings, withstand pressures up to 40 tons without compromising integrity.
- Custom durometer ratings (typically 90–95 Shore A) strike the perfect balance between impact absorption and long-lasting structural durability.
Complete Roller Solutions: New Core Design or Expert Roller Recovery
We know every operation is different. That’s why we offer both new accumulator roll design and cost-effective roller recovery services:
-
- Custom Core Design and Manufacturing:
If you need a new accumulator roll, our engineering team can design and fabricate a core tailored to your requirements. We work with a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, and cast metals, to ensure your new roller meets the demands of your application—whether you need a specific diameter, length, or mounting configuration. - Strip and Recover Existing Rollers:
If your current rollers are worn but the cores are still in good condition, we offer comprehensive strip and recover services. We remove the old urethane, thoroughly inspect and refurbish the core, and apply a new urethane covering using advanced bonding and curing techniques. This process restores your rollers to like-new performance, extends their service life, and saves you money compared to full replacement.

Why Choose Urethane Accumulator Rolls?
Urethane offers a range of benefits that make it the preferred material for accumulator rolls in demanding industrial environments:
-
Exceptional Wear and Abrasion Resistance:
Urethane outlasts traditional rubber by up to four times, standing up to repeated contact, friction, and heavy use. This means less frequent replacements and lower maintenance costs over time. -
Chemical and Solvent Resistance:
Our urethane rollers are designed to handle exposure to oils, solvents, fuels, and other harsh chemicals commonly found in manufacturing, metal processing, food production, and printing environments. They maintain their structural integrity and performance, even in challenging conditions. -
High Load-Bearing Capacity:
With a typical durometer rating of 90 – 100 Shore A, these rollers provide the hardness required to support heavy loads without deforming, tearing, or slipping—ideal for high-throughput operations. -
Noise and Vibration Reduction:
Urethane’s natural damping properties help reduce noise and absorb vibration, creating a safer, quieter work environment and protecting your machinery from excessive wear. -
Non-Marring and Superior Grip:
Our rollers are designed to handle finished or delicate materials without marking or damaging surfaces. The urethane covering provides excellent grip, ensuring smooth and accurate movement of materials through your line. -
Corrosion Resistance:
Unlike metal rollers, urethane will not rust or corrode, making it suitable for wet or chemically aggressive environments. -
Customizable to Your Needs:
We offer a wide range of sizes, colors, and material formulations to match your specific application. Whether you need FDA-approved urethane or a specialty surface finish, we can deliver. Standard hardness falls within the 90 – 100 Shore A range to meet the majority of industrial application demands.
