Compound Selection Guide

Common Materials for Metal Shell Rollers

Each compound is matched to your application, chemical environment, and operating conditions.

MS (Mild Steel)

The highly durable, cost-effective standard for heavy-duty guide, nip, and tension rollers. Often painted, rubber-coated, or hard-chrome plated depending on the industry.

SS (Stainless Steel)

The essential choice for wet, corrosive, and strictly hygienic environments. Grades like SS 304 and 316 provide supreme rust resistance, making them mandatory for food/pharma.

Aluminum Shell

The go-to for high-speed, low-tension web applications. Extremely lightweight, offering low inertia so the roller spins freely without dragging or stretching delicate materials like thin films or foils.
