Types of Rollers
We offer many different types of rollers to suit your specific needs:
CARRYING ROLLER
Used for transporting light to medium weight materials. Available in gravity and powered designs.
SPIRAL ROLLER
Helix shaped rollers that facilitate incline or decline transportation. Reduces backroll of materials.
GUIDE ROLLER
Designed to align the conveyor belt and prevent mistracking.
RUBBER DISC ROLLER
Cushioned rubber discs provide shock absorption. Ideal for fragile products.
RETURN ROLLER
Located under the return side of the conveyor belt to provide support.
IMPACT ROLLER
Heavy duty rollers to withstand very high impacts from materials.
POLYMER ROLLER
Rollers made from durable polymers like UHMW polyethylene for corrosive environments.
HDPE ROLLER
Heavy duty rollers made from abrasion resistant high density polyethylene.
Engineering Rollers for Your Application
With our diverse manufacturing capabilities, we can fabricate rollers for everything from food processing to heavy mining. Our team will help determine the optimal roller design for your specific application and requirements. Key factors we consider when engineering rollers include:
- Material Type – Properties like weight, fragility, corrosiveness, and more determine the optimal roller. Plastics and rubber often used for light materials, steel for heavy loads.
- Material Shape and Size – Large, irregularly shaped or very abrasive materials require heavy duty rollers. Small or delicate items need gentler cushioned rollers.
- Incline/Decline – Spiral rollers with helix shapes excel at incline/decline transportation by reducing backroll.
- Environment – Wet, dirty, or corrosive environments dictate the need for sealed bearings and corrosion resistant metals or plastics.
- Conveyor Belt Design – Belt width, shape, and structure impact idler roller placement and spacing. We customize to your system.
- Impact Forces – Heavy impacts require reinforced rollers with thicker walls, stronger materials, and robust bearings.
- Speed – High speed applications generate more heat and vibration, affecting bearing and material selection.

Customization
We understand every material handling application has unique needs. Our engineering team will work closely with you to customize our rollers based on:
- Bearing type and size
- Roller diameter and wall thickness
- Seal types
- Materials including mild steel, stainless steel, plastic, rubber
- Your specific conveyor belt design and structure
This allows us to manufacture rollers tailored to your exact specifications and operational requirements.
Quality Assurance
All of our rollers undergo stringent quality control checks before leaving our ISO 9001 certified facility. This includes:
- Dimensional accuracy assessments
- Visual inspections for defects
- Testing of bearing seals, smooth rotation, and noise
- Confirming the correct materials and treatments were used
You can be confident our rollers will perform reliably once installed in your conveyor system. We stand behind our products with a 1 year warranty.
