Web machine rubber rollers are industrial components, typically with a steel or aluminum core coated in various types of rubber (like nitrile, silicone, or polyurethane), designed for material handling and processing in industries such as printing, packaging, and textiles. These rollers provide essential properties like friction, grip, shock absorption, and controlled hardness to ensure smooth operation and high-quality results by precisely controlling how the "web" or continuous material (paper, plastic, etc.) interacts with the machinery.
The hardness of the rubber can be adjusted (e.g., from 25 to 100 Shore A) to achieve the desired level of grip, resilience, and pressure for the specific material and task.
Surface Properties:
The roller's surface can be even, grooved, or textured to enhance material contact and facilitate specific functions.
Function and Application
Material Handling:
Web rollers are crucial for guiding and moving a continuous "web" of material, such as paper, plastic, or textiles, through machinery.
