Custom Molded Plastic Roller

Flexiparts Plastic manufactures custom plastic rollers for conveyor systems, material handling, automation, and other equipment requiring quiet, low-friction operation. From mold making to full-scale production, our custom rollers are lightweight, durable, corrosion-resistant, and precisely molded or CNC-machined to meet your exact tolerances and surface finish requirements.

Getting a custom plastic roller solution is easy — send us your drawing or sample, and we’ll take care of mold design, quoting, and manufacturing. Reach out anytime via our website, email, or phone to get started.

Custom Plastic Roller to Fit Your Application

Plastic rollers are available in many types and configurations depending on the system: plain rollers, crowned rollers, flanged rollers, grooved rollers, idler rollers, and drive rollers. At Flexiparts, we can fully customize roller diameter, length, bore, groove profile, surface finish, and hardness.

Design Plastic Roller Suggestion

When designing a custom plastic roller, focus on load capacity, friction, and wear resistance. Choose the right material and hardness to protect your belt or product. Ensure accurate bore size and tolerances for the shaft or bearing. Select profiles such as crowned, flanged, or textured surfaces based on tracking and traction needs. Define core structure, bearing type, and assembly method to achieve stable rotation and low vibration.

FAQs of Plastic Molded Rollers

What’s the difference between Nylon and UHMW-PE rollers?

Nylon offers higher strength and better heat resistance, while UHMW-PE provides superior abrasion resistance and very low friction for long wear life in abrasive conditions.

How about the wear resistance and service life of custom rollers?

Plastic rollers, especially polyurethane or UHMW-PE, have excellent wear resistance. Lifespan depends on material, load, and friction conditions. We select the optimal material and grade to match your expected working cycle.

Can you produce rollers with metal inserts or special coatings?

Yes. We can add metal inserts, bushings, or surface coatings to enhance strength, reduce friction, or improve wear resistance.

What drives the cost of custom rollers?

Costs are mainly determined by material choice (high-performance polymers), custom mold/tooling, and required processing precision—the higher the accuracy, the higher the cost.

Do you offer low-volume production plastic rollers?

Yes. We can machine rollers directly using CNC for prototypes or small batches, which eliminates mold costs. Mold production becomes more economical when quantities increase.
