Precision Industrial Rollers & Engineering Solutions | Karachi, Pakistan
INDUSTRIAL SERVICES

Engineering, Machining & Vulcanisation Services

Backed by industrial lathes, grinding setups, and rubber vulcanising facilities in Shershah, Karachi to prolong roller operational life and ensure exact tolerances.

SERVICE 01

Precision Rubber Roller Grinding

Restoring cylindrical accuracy, diametrical concentricity, and specified surface finishes.

Over time, continuous industrial line pressure and abrasive chemical contact cause localized wear, hollow center grooves, or glazed roller surfaces. Our cylindrical grinding machinery finishes rolls up to 610 mm in diameter and 5,080 mm in overall length, bringing surfaces back to uniform precision.

  • Cylindrical surface grinding for rubber, ebonite, and polyurethane
  • Removal of surface pitting, glazing, and runout irregularities
  • Fine micro-finish preparation for printing and lamination

Rubberisation and wrapping
SERVICE 02

Roller Rubberisation & Recoating

Stripping spent coatings and vulcanising new elastomers with high bonding strength.

We re-rubberise worn rollers on client-supplied steel cores. Cores are thoroughly stripped of old rubber, grit-blasted, primed with specialized chemical bonding agents, and wrapped with fresh compounded rubber strips. The roll is then vulcanised under controlled temperature and autoclave steam pressure.

  • Natural Rubber (NR) for high elasticity and general abrasion
  • Nitrile (NBR) for solvent, oil, and petroleum resistance
  • Neoprene (CR) for weather, ozone, and chemical endurance
  • EPDM & Hypalon for high heat and strong acid/alkali wash boxes
  • Silicone Rubber for non-stick properties up to 220°C
  • Ebonite (Hard Rubber) for maximum surface rigidity (98-100 Shore A)

SERVICE 03

Roller Grooving & Parabolic Crowning

Specialized surface patterns for web handling, liquid drainage, and deflection compensation.

Under heavy hydraulic nip loads, roller cores naturally deflect at the center, creating uneven edge squeezing. Our precision crowning machining applies parabolic diameter taper, ensuring completely uniform linear pressure when deflected.

  • Herringbone and chevron grooving for web spreading
  • Spiral and helical grooving for liquor release and air evacuation
  • Diamond pattern grooving for traction drives
  • Calculated parabolic crowning for heavy-nip padder rollers

SERVICE 04

Complete Roller Reconditioning

Full core restoration to save capital expenditure and return worn rolls to service.

Before re-coating, our machinists inspect the core for bent shafts, worn journal bearing seats, damaged keyways, and wall thinning. We repair journal steps by precision machining or sleeve insertion, dynamically balance the assembly, and apply fresh vulcanisation.

  • Dial gauge radial runout testing and concentricity inspection
  • Bearing journal and keyway repairs
  • Dynamic and static balancing to prevent line vibration

SERVICE 05

Metal Roller Core Fabrication

Manufacturing complete steel, stainless steel, and aluminium roller cores from raw stock.

When an existing roller cannot be salvaged or a new machine is being fabricated, we engineer complete metal roller bodies. We turn heavy-gauge seamless tubing, weld internal diaphragms, press-fit precision ground stub shafts, and cut keyways.

  • Mild steel (MS) heavy pipe and solid shaft fabrication
  • Stainless steel (SS 304 / 316) acid-resistant roller cores
  • Hollow-core composite roller assemblies for low inertia
