From making balls for the Mesoamerica ballgames 9,000 years ago, humans use rubber for many purposes. There are also Mayas Indian women’s stories taking the tears of a crying tree from the rainforest, which later became the latex from the Para tree. Even Columbus gets credited for discovering rubber after visiting Haiti in 1490 when he found the natives there playing with a bouncy ball. Finally, it was Charles Goodyear with his vulcanization of the rubber that opened the floodgate of opportunities for the rubber to be useful to make tires, Vintex rubber rollers and many others.
Evolution of rubber rollers
In the environmental concerned world, the naturally occurring rubber is gaining importance for its many properties. Rubber has high resilience, stretch ratio, and is extremely waterproof to be favorite materials for many applications. With technological innovation, rubber rollers with the ductile material rubber’s intrinsic elasticity characteristics make all challenges easier. Its capability of quickly returning to the initial state after stretching due to the impact makes it the first choice for diverse sectors. It may be for sealing gaskets, for conveyor belts, tires, dehusking in agriculture, grinding and sanding of wood, aluminum, and steel. The rubber rollers for flexible packaging have revolutionized the packaging industry to cross billions of dollars in revenue annually.
Different rubber rollers as per material
Rubber rollers are only as good as the type of rubber used for making them. Also, only the rubber material determines its application across various sectors, as all industries have specific requirements regarding its use. Hence, there are many types of rubber roller for plastic machines to textile, leather, agriculture and many other industries. The following are the details of many rubber rollers as per the material.
Natural rubber roller
Rubber rollers made of natural rubber have outstanding physical properties, superior resiliency, and high resistance to abrasion and low oil and solvents resistance. With advanced technology, these rubber rollers for sheeted offset machines are easy to install and provide dimensional accuracy and durability with optimum quality.
Neoprene rubber rollers
Neoprene rubber rollers are superior to natural rubber rollers in heat and fire resistance and weathering depending on the applications. It is an all purpose rubber rollers with thousands of applications for its many features because of its high tensile strength, elasticity, crack resistance, tearing strength, dimensional accuracy, longer shelf life and many others. The significant applications of neoprene rubber rollers include corona treatment and plastic spread, among others.
Nitrile rubber rollers
Nitrile rubber rollers are the rubber roller industry’s workhorses because of their versatility and overall excellent physical properties. With high molecular strength, excellent resistance to oils, solvents, greases, fuels, abrasion and heat, it finds application in printing, steel, paper and other manufacturing industries.
Vintex rubber rollers are the biggest supplier and exporter of all high-quality rubber rollers made of many materials. With the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in many major cities in India, it exports the best industrial & printing rubber rollers to over 16 countries worldwide.
