Round, Concentric Rolls
It might seem strange that we're bragging about round rolls. Aren't all rolls round and concentric? They may look that way, but the roll profiles tell a different story: most roll grinding services actually don't produce round, concentric rolls. PRG does.
The difference a round roll makes on your line is profound. Like a car driven on an oddly shaped tire, a line run on an imperfect roll is bound to have performance problems. It may not run as fast, and could have trouble producing a consistent product for your clients. Eventually, it will need unexpected maintenance, or even a shutdown for removal.
The bottom line: a round roll shape always improves the performance of your line, and that's what PRG gives you.

At one point, the mill had to change chilled iron rolls every six weeks. The resulting downtime greatly affected productivity.PRG's Solution - Read More...
