Urethane Coater Rolls: Precision Application for a Flawless Finish

Coater Rolls

At Universal Urethane Products, we know that achieving consistent, high-quality coatings on steel strips is critical for your production line’s success. Our urethane coater rolls are purpose-built for coil coating systems, engineered to apply primers, topcoats, and chemical treatments evenly and reliably. Designed with the right blend of softness and resilience, these rollers help you maintain flatness, reduce defects, and meet the most demanding surface quality standards.

Purpose-Built Coater Rolls for Precision Coating Applications

Engineered to deliver flawless coating transfer and consistent substrate control in high-pressure roll-to-roll systems, our coater rolls excel in demanding industrial environments.

  • Ground textures (Ra 0.4–0.8 μm) or mirror-smooth chrome finishes (Ra 0.05–0.2 μm), with optional diamond groove patterns, ensure optimal grip and defect-free coating application, even with oily or fluid-heavy substrates.
  • Precision steel cores coated with high-performance polyurethane or hard chrome withstand pressures up to 40 tons while resisting wear and corrosion.
  • Custom durometer ratings (typically 90–95 Shore A for polyurethane) balance impact absorption and long-term durability for precise, high-quality coating processes.

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 Coater Rolls?

  • Uniform Coating Application:
    Our urethane rolls feature a smooth, soft surface (typically 60–70 Durometer Shore A) that compresses gently against the steel, ensuring an even coating thickness with minimal streaking, skips, or inconsistencies.
  • Excellent Compression and Strip Flatness:
    Urethane’s flexible nature allows the roll to maintain steady contact with the strip, helping preserve material flatness during coating—crucial for producing defect-free finishes at high line speeds.
  • Superior Surface Protection:
    Urethane coater rolls handle delicate or high-finish steel with care, minimizing scratching or surface damage and maintaining product integrity through the coating process.
  • Chemical Resistance for Long-Term Use:
    Our coater rolls resist degradation from the paints, solvents, and treatments commonly used in coil coating lines. This chemical resistance ensures dependable, long-lasting performance.
  • Versatile Coating Capability:
    From primers and topcoats to waxes and chemical treatments, our coater rolls are compatible with a wide variety of applications, delivering consistent performance across every coating stage.
