Urethane Transfer Rolls: Reliable Support for Steel Processing

Transfer Rolls

Universal Urethane Products specializes in high-performance transfer rolls designed to provide consistent support and smooth material movement in steel processing lines and loop car systems. Our urethane-coated rolls deliver exceptional abrasion resistance, chemical protection, and non-marring surface integrity, ensuring reliable performance and superior product quality.

Purpose-Built Transfer Rolls for Precision Web Handling

Engineered to guide, transfer, or apply coatings to web materials in high-speed processing lines, our transfer rolls deliver exceptional performance in demanding industrial environments.

  • Ground, matte, diamond-grooved, or mirror-polished finishes (0–1 Ra for optical applications) provide superior grip and precise coating quality, even on oily or slippery materials.
  • Precision carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, or aluminum cores with polyurethane, chrome, or ceramic coatings withstand high loads and speeds up to 3000 FPM while resisting wear and corrosion.
  • Polyurethane coatings, available in the 90–95 Shore A range, provide an optimal balance between impact absorption, grip, and long-term durability, ensuring smooth operation and high-quality material handling under continuous, high-pressure conditions.

New Cores & Roller Recovery: Tailored Solutions for Every Application

  • Custom Core Design & Fabrication:
    We engineer new cores with heavy-duty steel or aluminum construction, applying precision urethane covers to handle extreme loads and abrasive conditions.
  • Strip and Recover Existing Rolls:
    Extend the life of your transfer rolls with our strip and recover service. We remove worn covers, inspect cores for integrity, and apply a fresh urethane cover, restoring optimal performance at a fraction of the cost of new rolls.

Why Choose Urethane Transfer Rolls?

Our urethane covers provide critical advantages for transfer rolls in steel processing:

  • Superior Durability:
    Withstands heavy loads and high-speed operation without cracking or deforming.
  • Corrosion Resistance:
    Protects against rust, humidity, and industrial chemicals, extending roll lifespan.
  • Abrasion Resistance:
    Maintains surface integrity even under continuous use in abrasive environments.
  • Noise & Vibration Reduction:
    Urethane’s shock-absorbing properties minimize noise, creating a safer, quieter workspace.
  • Non-Marring Surface:
    Prevents surface damage to steel products, maintaining product quality and appearance.
  • Cost-Effective:
    Longer lifespan and reduced maintenance needs deliver a lower total cost of ownership compared to OEM metal or rubber rolls.
