In addition to manufacturing new rollers, Mid American Rubber also specializes in recovered rollers by reconditioning existing rollers. Through our in-house process your used roller can be renewed to a “like new” state saving you time and money compared to designing new rollers.
Our reconditioning process is designed to guarantee usability and client satisfaction. Steps include:
- Inspecting incoming rollers
- Repairing journals, if necessary
- Stripping of old worn rubber
- Recoating with new rubber
- Curing in a controlled pressure vessel
- Trimming to specific length
- Precision grinding
- Polishing
- Inspecting recovered roller once final
- Packaging for secure and on-time delivery
