Custom Polyurethane Rollers For Your Applications

PSI’s standard and custom made urethane formulations are wear and generally cut-resistant, can carry up to four times higher load than rubber, and stand up to harsh environments. That makes PSI’s urethane rollers the perfect solution for high-stress applications, such as load wheels, conveyors, and pulleys.

Recover Your Existing Metal Cores

In addition to manufacturing new wheels/rollers, we also have the ability to recover your existing metal cores.  No matter what material you currently have on your rollers, we've got you covered.  All you need to do is give us a durometer(hardness)  and what profile you need.  Let PSI show you how we can offer you substantial savings by not having to replace your cores.

BENEFITS OF POLYURETHANE ROLLERS

• Marring of products - Polyurethane with pigment or in its natural state, does not mar nor damage any material it comes into contact with.  However, rubber has carbon added to it and when it comes into contact with products, it can leave black marks on them.  Additionally, metal is very hard and will not only mar objects, but it can also damage them.
• Chemical/Water Resistance - Polyurethane outperforms rubber in applications that are either submerged or exposed to wet environments for a long period of time, where rubber would rot over time or metal may corrode.  
• Abrasion Resistance - Polyurethane has excellent abrasion and wear resistance properties, resulting in fewer instances of needing replaced. In instances where rollers experience a great deal of abrasion from combining dynamic loads and high friction, polyurethane surpasses natural rubber.  For these reasons, urethane is best for conveyor, driving and printing rollers.
• Low Permanent Set - Rebound is essential for printing, driving and coveyor rollers.  Polyurethane can be manufactured to handle your heavy items and not take a set.
• Tensile Strength & Elongation- Polyurethane has the ability to handle more pounds per square inch than rubber without rupturing and breaking apart.  This is especially beneficial for driving and conveyor rollers when systems are running fast and carrying a great deal of weight.
• Wide range of formulations/durometers - Polyurethane can be manufactured to your specific requirements.  Whether you need  approved wet or dry formulations or specific durometers for grip or strength, urethane can be formulated to give you the best wear for your specific application.  
• Wide range of colors available - Our polyurethane rollers come in a wide range of colors to suit your specific application and requirements. Black and Red are recommended for applications that require UV resistance. Custom colors can be produced upon request for a large volume order.
