Urethane roller covers for industrial conveyor systems offer better performance and productivity compared to conventional metal rollers, all while substantially reducing the noise level within your facility.
While often overlooked, that latter advantage is certainly not trivial. There’s no ignoring the fact that typical steel and aluminum conveyor rollers can be loud and obnoxious, contributing a large portion of the noise and discomfort associated with factory work. By comparison, our premium urethane conveyor rollers reduce noise levels by as much as 10 decibels. They also provide better shock absorption, simultaneously reducing vibration and harshness throughout the system.
Of course, many of the main benefits of switching to polyurethane rollers are related to conveyor performance and product protection. Our range of premium urethane materials (with numerous custom options available) provide better traction than steel or aluminum rollers, allowing for conveyance at steeper angles. Simultaneously, the urethane protects products from marring, scratching, and other typical wear and tear. As an added advantage, our rollers feature slip-on installation which is quick, simple, and seamless.
Essentially, our innovative slip-on conveyor roll covers are designed for easier maintenance, smoother operation, and maximum service life.

A High-Strength, High-Performance Roller Upgrade for Industrial Conveyors
Our conveyor roller covers are designed to fit on the O.D. of standard size conveyor rollers, providing a cushioned, wear resistant, quieter system. We offer a full line of conveyor roller covers manufactured from premium urethane materials in multiple durometers, chosen for their specific performance properties. Standard hardnesses are 95A orange, 85A White (FDA), 60A yellow, 40A Green. These compounds are castable type polyurethane, and are more durable than other types of extruded polyurethanes.
- Prevents product damage: will not mar or scratch the surface, which is especially beneficial for painted, coated, or otherwise finished products and materials.
- Better shock and impact absorption compared to metal conveyor rollers, which facilitates smoother operation.
- A quieter factory workplace with system noise reduced by as much as 10 decibels compared to conventional metal rollers.
- Designed to be easily installed by in-house personnel, reducing ongoing maintenance costs and the potential for downtime.
- Increase grip and traction: conveys more reliably and efficiently, with less risk of slippage.
- Allows for conveying at steeper angles, giving you the opportunity to reorganize and/or better optimize your facility’s workflow.
A Slip-on Roller Design for Easy, Seamless Installation
Installation of these polyurethane slip-on roll covers is very simple. The I.D of these tubes are made to be slightly smaller than the O.D. of your stock metal rollers, allowing for a reliable and easy press-fit installation. Simply lubricate the O.D. of the rollers with a water soluble oil or a soap solution and the tubes easily push onto the rollers from one end.
Alternatively, we offer a special installation tool that makes installation even easier. The tool fits onto one end of the tube with a hose clamp, allowing you to force air into the tube and enlarge it, making it easy to slide the tube along the full length of the roller. (Note: Installation with the special tool requires the sleeves to be 2" longer than the roller, and one end is trimmed with a razor after installation.)
By facilitating an easy in-house installation process, our slip-on urethane rollers can eliminate potential downtime of your conveyor equipment while minimizing your ongoing maintenance costs.
