Urethane Snubber Rolls: Enhanced Performance for Your Production Line
Snubber Rolls
At Universal Urethane Products, we understand that maintaining tension and preventing material misalignment are critical to your operation’s efficiency. Our urethane snubber rolls are designed to optimize strip movement and prevent cantering, keeping your production line running smoothly and consistently.
Purpose-Built Snubber Rolls for Precise Strip Control
Engineered to hold strip material securely against bridle rolls and ensure smooth, controlled travel in high-demand processing lines, our snubber rolls deliver exceptional performance in challenging industrial environments.
- Polyurethane coatings with rough ground or patterned finishes provide superior grip, preventing slippage even on oily or wet surfaces while minimizing product damage.
- Steel cores bonded with high-performance polyurethane combine strength, shock resistance, and elasticity for long-lasting durability.
- Polyurethane coatings, available in the 70–90 Shore A range, provide an optimal balance between grip, shock absorption, and durability, ensuring smooth strip travel, reduced noise, and prevention of cantering under continuous operation.
Complete Roller Solutions: New Core Design or Expert Roller Recovery
Every production line is unique. That’s why we offer both new snubber roll designs and cost-effective roller recovery services:
- Custom Core Design and Manufacturing:
If you need a new snubber roll, our engineering team can create a customized core to match your requirements. We use a range of durable materials—including steel, aluminum, and cast metals—to ensure your new roller meets the demands of your application, including specific diameter, length, and mounting configurations. - Strip and Recover Existing Rollers:
When your rollers show signs of wear but the cores remain intact, our strip and recover services are the ideal solution. We remove the old urethane, thoroughly inspect the core, and apply a new urethane cover using advanced bonding and curing methods. This process restores optimal performance while extending service life, saving you money compared to complete replacement.
Why Choose Urethane Snubber Rolls?
- Superior Traction and Grip: Urethane’s excellent grip keeps strip materials securely in place, reducing slippage and ensuring accurate alignment.
- Noise Reduction: The natural damping properties of urethane minimize noise, creating a quieter, safer working environment.
- Extended Durability: Urethane outperforms rubber with superior resistance to abrasion, wear, and chemical exposure, resulting in fewer replacements and lower maintenance costs.
- Non-Marring Surface: Protect sensitive materials from damage with urethane’s non-marring characteristics, maintaining product integrity during processing.
- Shock Absorption: Urethane’s elasticity absorbs impact and vibration, protecting both the roller and the material.
- Customizability: From hardness to size, our urethane snubber rolls can be tailored to your specific operational needs.
