Rubber Roller Manufacturing and Repair Services

Harwood Rubber Products, Inc. can provide all your custom rubber coated roller needs. Whether replacing, repairing, reconditioning, recovering, resurfacing, regrinding, recoating, or fabricating new rubber rollers, Harwood Rubber specializes in delivering cost-effective solutions. We work with your AutoCAD and traditional drawings, but are capable of advanced reverse engineering your existing worn rubber rollers. Rollers may be up to 20’ in length, 48″ in diameter, and weighing up to 3 tons per roll. We welcome small orders including prototype production, and maintain short lead times.

Harwood has a large inventory of roll covering compounds available to quickly respond to your emergencies. We can formulate the covering to your specific service condition and provide you with the most suitable material with the most effective durometer (rubber hardness) ranging from 5 to 100 Shore A. We hold tolerances as close as ±0.001″. Harwood can provide a wide range of grooves, finishes, crowns and tapers. We’ll maintain your exact specifications over your entire order and consistently from order-to-order.
