We are experts in extending the life of embossing and calendering cylinders

Roll Grinding and Turning

Roll Grinding is integral to our business. If a roll body doesn't start with a good TIR and finish, the pattern thereon is irrelevant. Old rolls also need to be ground to apply a new texture. When we remove the textured surface of your embossing cylinder, it enables us to engrave it anew and helps to extend the life. It also reduces your cost of manufacturing. 

Turning is another way to remove a surface layer from a roller. The process of fine turning a cylinder is an art. Our cylinder turning process will optimize your cost because it can remove more metal at a faster rate compared to grinding.

DID YOU KNOW...?

Not all metal embossing rolls are created equal. Our 63 – 65 Rockwell C roll sets are induction hardened for maximum case depth and have a chrome content of 3% min to add toughness.
