After time, rolls lose roundness. When your rolls aren’t round, your machinery suffers. Your product suffers. Eventually—if unaddressed by the right professionals—your equipment will fail.
The good news is, you can avoid this profit-risking problem in two ways by:
Scheduling regular roll grinding; and
Choosing roll grinding specialists.
An in-house repair or a call to your original equipment manufacturer (OEM) may seem like the obvious first call, but you may be surprised. Here are six reasons why a specialized roll grinder is the better choice for your bottom line:
1. Technology Focused on One Task
Precision is the key to restoring or increasing overall equipment effectiveness. Effective rolls require tight tolerances—up to 0.00002 inches. That kind of tolerance depends on specialized technology and specialists who know how to use the technology to your advantage. That’s why we invest in advancing our technology and people.
2. Benefit From a Specialized Team
The aim of an OEM is to design and build machines, parts and covers. They may offer roll grinding and maintenance, but neither task is their focus. On the other hand, professional grinding services dedicate their time to one task. Since 1970, Precision Roll Grinding has employed skilled roll servicers. Our team is qualified to both maintain or repair your rolls and skillfully handle them at each step of servicing and delivery.
3. Roll Longevity Keeps Production Moving
Precision grinding services can extend the life of your rolls. Perfectly round rolls, tight tolerances and regular checks will ensure overall equipment effectiveness. Scheduled preventive maintenance will keep your equipment running.
Roll longevity will also:
Make better product longer
Reduce roll service costs substantially
Extend the life of other machine components

4. Optimal Performance With Minimized Downtime
It’s far better to schedule maintenance on your terms. Unplanned downtime causes staffing, scheduling, delivery and production issues. The result? The risk of revenue loss. Why not schedule maintenance around the times that work best for your business?
5. Quality Assurance Every Time
“If it’s not in spec, you don’t send us a check.” We’re that committed to the quality of our grinding and customer service. We use advanced technology to achieve tight specifications. Our attention to detail results in rolls free of chatter, feedlines and barring.
6. Following Proper Procedure
Dedicated roll service providers invest in the right equipment and proper procedures to achieve your industry’s best tolerances. From your first consultation, through our on-time delivery, you will see the difference that professional grinding services make.
The sole focus of Precision Roll Grinders is roll grinding. We pride ourselves in delivering unbeatable, consistent roundness, concentricity and surface uniformity. We will work with your team to schedule maintenance at your company’s optimum times. Our goal is your goal: reduce downtime and yield greater profits.
