Roller Re-covering Program

Böttcher will re-cover your old rollers. Send your old rollers to us and we will cover them with the same award-winning rubber compound we use on all our new rollers. We use unique processes to apply the rubber to the core and to vulcanize the compound.

Each roller is ground by computer-controlled grinders and tightly calibrated. For most models of rollers, we replace the bearings so that it will arrive in your shop press ready. Re-covered rollers will perform as well as new ones.

Re-covering cores you send usually takes from one to two weeks.

Roller Exchange Program

The roller exchange program is a way to get new rollers shipped to you overnight. Our Roller Exchange Program, unequaled in the industry, means that you do not have to wait with your presses idle when you need a roller. And you can reduce your roller inventory.

The program works like this:

1) You call us and we ship your new rollers immediately-by Federal Express if you need them the next day.

2) We invoice you for the full cost of the rollers. In effect, you pay a deposit on the core that Böttcher is “lending” to you, similar to a beverage bottle deposit.

3) You ship us your old rollers, the ones being replaced.

4) When we receive your old rollers, we credit you with the cost of the cores. Essentially, it is a return of your “deposit.”

Almost all of the rollers in our exchange program are shipped press ready. This means they are fitted in our factory with new bearings.
