Bare metal conveyor rollers cause noise, product and roller damage, and slippage that slow your throughput and increase scrap rates. POLY-PRO slip-on conveyor roll covers solve all three problems with a single upgrade. Manufactured from cast polyurethane by Polyurethane Products in Addison, Illinois, these polyurethane conveyor roller covers fit the O.D. of standard-size rollers and deliver a cushioned, wear-resistant, non-marking surface that keeps your line running at full capacity.

Uncoated steel and aluminum rollers transmit vibration, scratch sensitive surfaces, and generate noise levels that contribute to worker fatigue. Rubber alternatives wear quickly and lack the tear and abrasion resistance needed for high-volume conveying. Cast polyurethane roll covers address both shortcomings.

POLY-PRO slip-on conveyor roll covers reduce system noise by as much as 10 decibels compared to conventional metal rollers, creating a more comfortable and safer work environment. The polyurethane material absorbs shock and vibration, which protects conveyed goods from dents, scratches, and cosmetic defects while simultaneously reducing mechanical stress on bearings and frames. 

The high-friction urethane surface increases grip and traction, allowing you to convey products more reliably at steeper incline angles without upgrading the belt or vertical system. These covers also resist water, oil, grease, and a range of industrial chemicals, ensuring performance in wet or oily processing environments.

Because our polyurethane roll sleeve compounds are castable rather than extruded, they deliver greater density, more consistent durometer, and longer service life than extruded polyurethane alternatives.

POLY-PRO slip-on conveyor roll covers are designed to fit standard conveyor roller outside diameters. The inside diameter of each polyurethane roll sleeve is precision-cast slightly smaller than the corresponding roller O.D. to ensure a secure press-fit without adhesives or mechanical fasteners. Standard wall thickness is 1/8" or ¼”. Sleeves are supplied in lengths that can be trimmed to match your roller face width.

POLY-PRO polyurethane conveyor roller covers are used across a wide range of industries where product protection, noise reduction, and reliable conveying are critical:

• Material handling and distribution: Protect packages, cartons, and totes from surface damage during sorting and shipping.
• Automotive manufacturing: Convey stamped panels, trim components, and painted parts without marring finished surfaces.
• Food and beverage processing: FDA-compliant 85A white compound meets sanitary conveying requirements.
• Aerospace and defense: Cushion sensitive composite and aluminum components during assembly line transport.
• Construction and heavy equipment: Withstand exposure to oils, solvents, and abrasive particulates common in fabrication environments.

Whether you need a standard durometer for a single conveyor line or a custom compound for a facility-wide retrofit, Polyurethane Products has manufactured high-performance polyurethane stock and standard products since 1978.
