Roll Grinding

Higher quality and better consistency — that’s how we help you maximize profits in your ink mill.

PRG is a single-source provider specializing in the refurbishment and upgrade of ink mills for leading manufacturers throughout North America (including three roll mills which require precision support for compliance, productivity and safety). Vastly experienced, our roll-grinding experts have helped manufacturing facilities across the nation grind every bit of pigment.

The result is rolls that meet or exceed OEM specifications — and deliver significant efficiencies and savings:

  • Removal of roll corrugations and defects
  • Control surface finish to minimize start up time
  • Complete hardness mapping of roll face available
  • Reestablish end relief for proper operation
  • Uniform surface finish using grinding wheel, not blasted
  • Increased run time of rolls
  • Reduced bearing failures
  • Energy savings
  • Rolls are installed in “ready to run” condition

 

We’ll save you money through the repair, refurbishment and modernization of your current mill.

Our goal is to both optimize ink production quality and increase the value of your equipment. To achieve this, we provide the following turnkey services:

  • Regrinding and resurfacing of rolls
  • Comprehensive cleaning and painting
  • Hydrostatic testing
  • Descaling roll interiors
  • The rebuild and/or replacement of faulty rolls and journal heads
  • The manufacture and install of new cooling systems
  • The overhaul of the hydraulic system
When service is complete, PRG invites you to all testing sessions. In addition, a full inspection report will detail work.

We can also minimize — or better yet — prevent downtime.

We provide emergency service, as well as fabrication and grinding services for spare or new replacement rolls, which:

  • Reduces downtime due to scheduled maintenance or unplanned equipment failure.
  • Generally takes less time to change out rolls than grind them in-place.
  • Allows for scheduled change-outs versus emergency repairs.

PRG refurbishment promotes safety and compliance, too. We can upgrade to the latest ANSI Standards and implement ANSI compliance solutions:

  • Emergency/control switches
  • Dynamic braking modes
  • Procedural updates and “Best Practices”

PRG’s service begins with a free consultation at your facility.
