I've worked around "Rollers" for decades. I practically grew up around them. Rollers are such an important component of any press and lots of industrial manufacturing machinery. Rollers get used a lot in a variety of ways. Whether they're pushing something through or slowing something down, there is a constant state of friction. Friction causes wear. And rollers can wear out quickly. But now, there are incredible coatings for rollers, that allow the rollers to wear at a much slower pace. Nylon rollers are so versatile...let me tell you a little more about the logic behind it: Copper and Ebonite® rollers have traditionally been utilized as metering, transfer and oscillator rollers in ink trains in offset and letterpress. Nylon (Rilsan-11 ®) has come into its own as a higher performance replacement for copper and Ebonite ®. It provides superior ink transfer and virtually eliminates stripping and expensive maintenance. Nylon (Rilsan-11 ®) is more chemical resista
I have learned so much in the Machinery Parts, Service, Repair, and Machine Shop industry, specifically with Printing machines, packaging machines, and converting machines, that I wanted to start to share it with the world. If I can educate others about this very interesting field, and help them save money in the process, I'll feel really good about this.
