Are you replacing your Rubber Rollers too regularly?

Are you replacing your Rubber Rollers too regularly?

When I acquired AMES Direct in 2015, I quickly became aware of significant expenditure in maintaining production lines and downtime. One of these high-cost areas is in the Rubber Lagged Rollers, and I believed we had a solution to this issue. Since that time, AMES Direct has developed in conjunction with its valued suppliers and customers, what we label as a High-Performance Niche for industry.

Here at AMES Direct, we have specialists who will analyse your rollers environment, develop an appropriate material formulation and supply a high-performance roller. This improvement can be as easy as changing materials completely or by tweaking the formulation to better repel the wear factors. This service doesn’t come at any additional cost as per the following formula;

Improved material formulation – increased lifespan – improved productivity = reduced maintenance expenditure.

If you would like an analysis on your rollers or other wear components please contact me now.

Case Study on Pressure Rollers operating at 72psi ( rollers on cover image)

Previous Lifespan = 1 week. Current Lifespan = 3 months and still going! Here is a calculation based on 12 week operation.

Original Part cost $70 + GST per wheel (4 per machine) = $280 + GST per week x 12 weeks = $3360 + GST cost! Not including downtime and lower production speeds.

New Improved Formula Part cost $90+ GST (4 per machine) = $ 360/12 weeks = $31.67 + GST per week. The Machine is now operating almost twice as fast and with no downtime changing rollers and with one very happy client.

Massive Savings!
