Urethane Blocker Rolls: Reliable Solutions for Heavy-Duty Coil Handling
Blocker Rolls
At Universal Urethane Products, we understand the critical role that precision and safety play in steel coil processing. Our urethane blocker rolls are engineered for demanding industrial environments—offering superior stability, grip, and protection when handling heavy steel coils. These specialized rollers deliver unmatched durability and load-bearing performance, ensuring your material handling systems operate smoothly and efficiently.
Purpose-Built Designs for Demanding Environments
Engineered to secure coils in place and prevent lateral movement or impact damage during transit, our blocker rolls are built for durability and performance in demanding industrial environments.
- Rough ground textures and diamond groove patterns for superior grip, even on oily surfaces.
- Precision steel cores bonded with high-performance polyurethane coatings to withstand up to 40 tons of pressure.
- Custom durometer ratings (typically 90–95 Shore A) for optimal balance between impact absorption and long-term structural integrity.
Complete Roller Solutions: New Core Design or Expert Roller Recovery
We know every operation is different. That’s why we offer both new roll design and cost-effective roller recovery services:
-
- Custom Core Design and Manufacturing:
If you need a new blocker 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 Blocker Rolls?
- Extreme Load-Bearing Strength:
Urethane surpasses rubber and other elastomers in load-bearing capacity. It maintains its shape under tons of pressure while distributing stress evenly across the steel core. - Impact Absorption and Shock Resistance:
Urethane's elastomeric properties allow it to absorb mechanical shocks without deforming permanently—reducing coil damage and preserving equipment integrity. - Superior Abrasion Resistance:
Whether it's sliding contact or impingement abrasion, our urethane blocker rolls hold up to continuous wear, especially when in contact with oily or rough steel surfaces. - Chemical and Temperature Resistance:
Our polyurethane formulations resist degradation from oils, solvents, and cleaners. They remain stable across wide temperature ranges, delivering reliable performance in harsh environments. - Non-Marring Contact:
Our rollers provide secure contact with steel coils without scratching or denting, thanks to the resilient yet protective nature of our urethane materials. - Open Cast Molding Excellence:
We use open cast polyurethane molding to produce blocker rolls that meet industrial-grade performance standards. This versatile, cost-effective process allows us to scale production from single units to large-volume orders without compromising on quality.
