CROWNING Why would you crown a roll? To improve web control, web centering, proper belt tracking, deflection and much more. Over the past several years roll crowning has become more prevalent, especially as machine operation speeds increase. Crowned rolls are used in many industries such as Paper, Printing, Converting, Laminating, Packaging and Wood. There are many types of crowns – Straight Taper, Cosine or Parabolic (convex or concave), compound and trapezoidal.

GROOVING Grooving is an essential part of any roller manufactures arsenal. Grooved rolls are used in a multitude of industries including but not limited to: packaging, film, wood, steel, printing and textiles. Grooving is the process in which material is removed from the outer working face of the roll to create a pattern for a specific function - typically for improved traction, grip, guidance, pressure and fluid control.

Roller Regrinding Roller regrinding can be an essential part of the maintenance and upkeep of industrial rollers used in a variety of manufacturing processes. Sometimes, just cleaning up the working face of your roll is all it needs. Utilizing our state-of-the-art processing equipment, we can resurface all types of rubber and urethane rollers, and ensure a high-quality finish. Our skilled team is able to remove just the right amount of compound from the roller face, leaving it free of imperfections and ready to continue its important role in your production line. One of the major advantages of roller resurfacing is its cost-effectiveness. By choosing to regrind an existing roller rather than recovering it or even purchasing a new one, companies can save significant amounts of money on replacement costs. This is especially beneficial for smaller businesses or those with a limited budget, as it allows them to maintain their equipment and keep operations running smoothly without breaking the bank. But it's not just about saving money - roller resurfacing can also help save on downtime. When a roller becomes worn or damaged, it can cause disruptions in your production process, leading to costly delays. By opting for regrinding, you can quickly and efficiently address any imperfections in your rollers and return them to their optimal working condition. This means you can keep your production line running smoothly and minimize the impact on your business.

Roller Recovering Roller recovery is beneficial for businesses that use rollers in their operations. Bluegrass Roller Service offers expert roller recovering services that can extend the life of your existing rollers while also saving you money. By taking an existing roller, and refurbishing it to like-new condition, we can help improve its performance and longevity. The process of roller recovering involves removing the existing compound from the roller, applying new compound, and grinding it to your desired specifications. The grinding process not only restores the functionality of the roller but also ensures that it meets your specific requirements for your process needs. Our team at Bluegrass Roller Service has both the skills and experience to properly handle your roller through the roller recovering process, ensuring that your roller is restored to its optimal performance. One of the major advantages of roller recovering is that it is a cost-effective solution compared to purchasing a new roller. Over time, rollers can become worn down due to constant use and exposure to various elements such as heat, chemicals, and friction. Rather than investing in a new roller, roller recovering allows you to restore your existing roller to its original condition at a fraction of the cost. This can result in significant cost savings for your business, making roller recovering an attractive option.
