We've been covering and recovering industrial rolls in Memphis since 1937. 150+ proprietary rubber compounds developed in-house by our chemist, tested by independent third-party labs, applied by hand on a 75,000 sq ft shop floor. Rolls up to 69" diameter × 25' face length. Not catalog. Engineered.
Every roll order starts with the chemist analyzing the application — your chemistry, temperature, line speed, prior compound, failure mode. We specify from the 150+ compound library, or formulate a new compound if nothing in the library is right. No defaulting to a stock compound because it's what we have.
Roll covers are built by hand by craftsmen who've been doing this work for decades. The 4th-generation Arthur family business hasn't outsourced this work. The cover that ships to you was built in Memphis by people whose last name is on the building.
Compounds are validated by independent third-party laboratories — immersion testing in your actual chemistry, abrasion testing, tensile testing, durometer verification. Not self-reported. Data backs every performance claim.
Nitrile (NBR), EPDM, Neoprene (CR), Silicone, CSM (Hypalon), Viton (FKM), Natural Rubber (NR), plus our branded compound families — IronCore, Black Diamond, ChemFlex, WorkPro, RhinoHide, SteelForce. The right base for your service, tuned by the chemist.
Pickling line squeegee and wringer rolls. Coil coating applicator rolls. Paper machine press, suction, calender, and dryer rolls. Aluminum mill ironing rolls. Plastic film chill and laminator rolls. Chemical processing rolls. If it spins and needs a rubber cover, we've covered one before.
Most of our business is recovering existing rolls. Ship us the worn roll, we strip the old cover, inspect and repair the core (journals, end bells, balance), build the new cover, cure, grind to spec, dynamically balance, document, and ship back with a complete roll analysis package.
Each compound below is used in our rubber roll covering work. Click any card to download the spec sheet. Download the spec sheets, then tell us which roll positions you're running and we'll recommend the right one — or build you a new formulation if none of these match your environment.
