Urethane Carry-Over Rolls: Reliable Support for Smooth Strip Handling

Carry-Over Rolls

At Universal Urethane Products, we know that precision strip support is vital to maintaining efficient coil processing operations. Our urethane carry-over rolls are engineered to deliver dependable, non-driven support as your material transitions through critical zones—especially at the entry and exit points of loop cars. Designed for durability and quiet operation, these rollers help protect your material, reduce maintenance, and keep your line running smoothly.

Purpose-Built Carry-Over Rolls for Seamless Material Transport

Engineered to provide reliable material handling and support in high-speed roll-to-roll processing, our carry-over rolls ensure precision and durability in demanding industrial environments.

  • Rough ground textures and diamond groove patterns, with surface roughness (Ra 0.6–1.4 μm), deliver superior grip, even on oily or slippery materials.
  • Precision steel, stainless steel, or aluminum cores coated with high-performance polyurethane withstand heavy loads while resisting corrosion and wear.
  • Custom durometer ratings (typically 90–95 Shore A) balance impact absorption and long-term durability for continuous, high-pressure operations.

Complete Roller Solutions: New Core Design or Expert Roller Recovery

We know every operation is different. That’s why we offer both new Carry-Over roll design and cost-effective roller recovery services:

  • Custom Core Design and Manufacturing:
    If you need a new Carry-Over 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 Carry-Over Rolls?

  • Exceptional Wear and Abrasion Resistance:
    Our urethane rolls are built to withstand frequent contact with steel strips, resisting surface wear and scoring while maintaining a smooth, reliable interface with the material.
  • High Load Capacity with Minimal Deflection:
    Urethane’s resilience and strength allow carry-over rolls to support heavy-gauge and high-strength materials without permanent deformation—even when spaced 5–6 feet apart.
  • Chemical and Solvent Resistance:
    Urethane resists degradation from oils, solvents, and process chemicals, making it ideal for demanding coil processing environments.
  • Noise Reduction for a Safer Workplace:
    Urethane’s inherent damping properties help reduce operational noise, improving workplace conditions and reducing machine stress.
  • Non-Marring Surface:
    Our rolls protect surface-sensitive or high-finish materials by preventing marking or scratching, preserving product quality from start to finish.

Applications for Urethane Carry-Over Rolls

Our carry-over rolls are trusted across a range of coil processing and material handling systems, including:

  • Loop Car Systems
  • Coil Processing Lines Used for passive strip support 
  • non-powered guidance in feeding, straightening, or leveling operations.

The Universal Urethane Advantage

  • In-House Engineering and Manufacturing: Design to finishing, everything happens under one roof.
  • Fast Turnaround and Dependable Delivery: We prioritize uptime with quick, responsive service.
  • Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Extended wear life, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance make urethane the economical choice.
  • Expert Guidance: Our team helps you select the right urethane formulation, durometer, and surface texture for your operation.

Universal Urethane Products: Durable. Dependable. Engineered for Steel.
