Nickel Plating

Electroless Nickel plating offers some advantages over chrome plating. It has a better resistance to corrosion with relatively thinner coatings than chrome.

Benefits: 

Electroless Nickel plating –in the as-plated condition has a hardness of approximately 50Rc. It can be heat treated by baking to a hardness of approximately 70Rc.

Best Used For: 

Electroless Nickel plating can be applied to aluminum and steel.

Nip Impressions

A nip impression is a measure of the uniformity of the pressure in a web processing nip. The pressure profile is sometimes referred to as a footprint.

Benefits: 

This is useful in understanding how a machine is running or can run better. The company can provide a service in measuring the nip impression.

Best Used For: 

Wide range of problem solving applications and analysis in the nip roll position of a web processing machine.

Nip Rollers

Our nip rollers are available in alloy steel, carbon steel, and stainless steel. Nip rollers are also known as pinch rollers and by various other names.

Benefits: 

Proper selection affects product quality and line speeds.

Best Used For: 

They are used to press two or more sheets together to form a laminated product.

Nip/Laminator Rollers

Laminator rollers are also known as nip rollers and by various other names.

Benefits: 

Proper selection affects product quality and line speeds.

Best Used For: 

They are used to press two or more sheets together to form a laminated product.

Non & Conductive Coatings

Conductive and non-conductive coatings are used promote or limit the flow of heat or electrical current into or away from the object that is coated.

Benefits: 

Wide variety of metal, metal alloy, carbide matrix, ceramic, and polymer coatings available with these properties as well as combination coatings composed of thermal spray and polymer coatings.

Best Used For: 

Conductive and non-conductive surface properties.

Non Destructive Testing

Non destructive testing is analysis techniques used to evaluate the material of a roller or part without damaging it.

Benefits: 

There is a wide variety of non-destructive tests utilized.

Best Used For: 

Wide range of problem solving applications and analysis.

Nylon Rollers

Nylon rollers are extremely corrosion resistant and provide long service life in ink printing applications.

Benefits: 

Replaces copper, steel or other smooth faced metering rollers used in directory or commercial printing where "high volume" ink flow is required.

Best Used For: 

Ink printing applications.

Overlaying Weld

Overlaying welds are utilized to help build up a roller’s body to a larger diameter, repair existing faces on rollers, or incorporate different properties.

Benefits: 

Re-store to original and critical dimensions; thus reducing replacement costs.

Best Used For: 

Core and Journal Repair

Ozone Resistance Testing

Ozone resistance testing is one of the services we offer as part of our physical property testing.

Benefits: 

Ozone resistance testing

Best Used For: 

Wide range of problem solving applications and analysis.

Paster Rollers

Paster rollers are used in manufacturing within the paper, film, and foil industries.

Benefits: 

Improve line speeds and reduce sheet breaks.

Best Used For: 

They're used to bump, splice, paste, and join expiring webs to new webs.

Pegasus

Pegasus rollers have foam polymer bases and offer superior compression and tear resistance. The patented, high release topcoat prevents picking and wrap-ups from adhesive contact.

Benefits: 

Patented, high release topcoat prevents picking and wrap-ups from adhesive contact and seals the covering surface to prevent grease and other contaminants from penetrating the foam.

Best Used For: 

Superior performer in an "no-crush" roll position weighing in at 70% less than rubber roll coverings. Less weight equates to better responsiveness, faster speed changes and less system drag.

Pegasus II

The Pegasus II utilizes the same technology as the Pegasus I but features a more wear-resistant urethane outer covering.

Benefits: 

These rollers are designed to compress and rebound back to its original size without generating heat.

Best Used For: 

Lay on roll position.
