Cast urethane provides end-use, flexible, and rigid parts with production-level quality. The process of casting urethane utilizes a machined master pattern to create a soft mold. The mold delivers cost-effective short to medium-run volumes and high-quality parts (hard molds used as well). This is an excellent alternative to a high-volume injection molding process. In this…...

When it comes to selecting the right material for your industrial roller applications, you probably have a lot of questions. This is especially about the polyurethane vs. rubber rollers debate. If your current equipment originally came with rubber rollers, would it be acceptable for you to use polyurethane rollers instead of the rubber ones? Let’s…...

Over the last few years, the safety standards in the food and beverage industry have improved dramatically.
