Hot grinding services
PRG's proprietary hot grinding technology is unique ... the only one available in the North American market.
We continuously modernize our grinders including state-of-the-art technology which significantly improves
grinding processes. Hot grinding is often the solution to production challenges caused by excess distortion
as a result of high-temperature operations. Rolls are carefully examined and then heated to operating temperature
— up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Then they are ground to PRG accuracy. The result: a roll that will start up
and operate as required, increasing quality production.
PRG total roll care services for nonwovens
Since 1970, PRG has been North America's premier independent supplier of industrial roll grinding and repair
services. PRG is experienced in providing roll service solutions to many nonwoven industry processes. Whether
your business is manufacturing or converting, PRG can provide you with a comprehensive range of products and
services which meet or exceed your specifications.
Here's how PRG works to increase your productivity and profitability

PRG roll grinding
Superior product performance can often be achieved through precision roll grinding. PRG is able to grind to
tolerances plus & minus 20 millionths of an inch total indicated run-out, and achieve surface finishes
less than 0.5 micro inch Ra.
A more precise grind means a more precise nip: uniform pressures, uniform caliper, uniform wear profiles,
no "break-in" requirements, improved sheet consistency and longer time between grinds — all of which,
obviously, means higher profits for our customers.
PRAXAIR TM coatings
PRG is an authorized distributor for Praxair carbide and ceramic coatings. Replacing chrome plating or
resurfacing worn chilled cast iron with tungsten carbide, chrome carbide or ceramic can increase run times
dramatically and improve uniformity as well as release. And with several offerings per application, coatings
are tailored to your operations and budget requirements.
WALZEN IRLE New Chilled Iron Rolls and Shells
PRG is also the authorized dealer for Walzen Irle, one of the industry's most respected roll manufacturers.
Walzen Irle has been providing chilled iron rolls and shells for more than 180 years and is able to provide
a wide range of individual roll concepts — apart from the industry standard — to meet any need you
may have. Much like PRG, Walzen Irle relies on the experience of its qualified technicians and maintains strict
quality standards, guaranteeing that all production steps are tested — a commitment to quality which has
consequently led to Walzen Irle's worldwide reputation for roll manufacturing.
"Reduce Stress!"
"Reduced stress! In today's business this is a major plus. We have a high level of confidence in Precision's
capabilities, since they have all of the roll specifications. You can call, explain one time what needs to be
done and relax."

"We have seen paybacks. . ."
"Guaranteed quality workmanship. This 'culture' increases confidence between two parties,
which has allowed us to research additional details with standard practices. We have seen paybacks through
lower vibration levels, longer roll life, and reduced horsepower requirements."
