Rubber Feed Rollers, Wipe & Applicator Rolls
Urethane and Rubber Feed Rollers and Sleeves Offerings
Bingham Flexo Services partners with top-tier suppliers to provide high‑quality rubber feed rollers and sleeve solutions engineered for consistent performance in flexographic and corrugated applications. Our rubber elastomer and cast urethane product solutions are designed for durability, precision, and superior performance in various applications. Each feed roller is designed to deliver stable traction and long-lasting performance in demanding corrugated and converting environments. Urethane offers excellent cut and abrasion resistance, while specialized rubber elastomers provide heat resistance, chemical resistance, and optimal ink transfer. Our suppliers manufacture rollers with advanced features such as dual durometer, custom grooving, crowns, and high-finish specifications. With our application expertise, we help you select the best feed rollers to meet your specific production needs.
Corrugated Box Applications
Bingham Flexo supplies high-quality urethane, nitrile, and neoprene wipe and feed rollers sourced from leading manufacturers dedicated to the corrugated industry. We understand that proper covering selection, durometer, diameter, crown, and grooving are critical to performance and longevity. Our partners maintain extensive OEM prints and have produced rubber feed rollers for many of the industry’s top corrugated equipment manufacturers.
DuraFeed™ dual durometer urethane is Bingham’s recommended covering for corrugated rubber feed rollers — engineered for longer life and reduced board crush. Its performance advantage comes from a soft 30 durometer inner layer paired with a precision .030” 65 durometer outer shell, creating an overall hardness of approximately 40 durometer. The result is the ideal balance of cushioning and durability.
While others may offer dual durometer constructions, their thicker outer layers often drive overall hardness above 50 durometer — increasing the risk of board damage and reduced performance.
For more price-conscious applications, a 35 durometer urethane option is also available. Urethane remains the preferred material due to its superior abrasion and cut resistance compared to traditional rubber elastomers — delivering longer service life in demanding corrugated environments.
Urethane, nitrile and neoprene are available at any specified durometer, diameter and length. The rollers are then ground and polished straight, or with the specified parabolic (barrel) crown. We can assist with crown recommendations by performing nip impression testing to help specify the correct crown for your roller diameter and length
Printing Applications
Bingham Flexo supplies both rubber feed rollers and sleeves that are laser engraved for specialty printing and spot coating applications. We can help select the best material and can offer a one stop shopping experience. Roller or sleeve, covering and engraving all from the same source. No finger-pointing, just service and performance.
Laser engraved rubber sleeves outlast and outperform photopolymer in terms of life and chemical resistance. Enhanced laser engraving techniques have also escalated the print performance from laser engraved rubber in recent years. Do you have an application where you would like to see longer life? Give our rubber feed rollers or sleeves a try.
Coating and Laminating Applications
Coating applications require the tightest rubber feed roller and sleeve tolerances and finishes. Bingham Flexo partners with companies who specialize in the manufacture roll bases and sleeves and others that offer covering of various rubber elastomers and urethanes. Straight and tapered sleeves are available and tight dimensional and surface finish tolerances are part of our every day supply.
Whether you require a precision-manufactured base, straight or tapered sleeve, or the ideal covering material, Bingham Flexo Solutions works alongside trusted partners to specify the right solution for your exact application. We evaluate nip pressure, operating environment, substrate demands, and chemical exposure to ensure the correct manufacturer, construction, and surface material are selected from the start.
From tapered sleeves engineered for high-nip pressure performance, to Hypalon® coverings built for elevated heat resistance, or EPDM compounds designed to withstand solvent exposure, we deliver rubber feed rollers manufactured to the tightest tolerances — because performance begins with precision.
