Grooved Rubber Spreader Rolls for Advanced Web Handling

Purpose-Built for Web Performance

Grooved Rubber Spreader Rolls are designed to solve common web handling issues—like wrinkling, air entrapment, and slippage—by leveraging precision-machined surface grooves that actively influence how the web interacts with the roll. These engineered grooves help enhance material control while reducing scrap and improving output quality.

Custom Groove Patterns Available

With computerized grooving capabilities, choose from a wide range of precision groove patterns to address specific application needs, including:

  • Spreading
  • De-wrinkling
  • Non-slip enhancement
  • Air elimination
  • Tracking improvement
  • Circumferential or spiral grooves
  • Herringbone, lateral fluted, and Vent-a-Nip configurations

Whether you’re working with film, paper, nonwovens, or laminates, the correct groove geometry can be customized to optimize web control.

Built for Compatibility

Grooved Rubber Spreader Rolls are available across a wide range of sizes and rubber compounds, ensuring compatibility and tailored for performance in converting, printing, packaging, and industrial processing lines.
