FERLA CLARKE'S MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Each and every roller produced is manufactured to the highest of standards. Each roller is stripped and cores sandblasted to remove any remaining rubber, rust, etc. Then adhesive is applied to ensure mechanical bond. The roller is then built using customer specified materials and cured in the autoclave.

   After a cool down period, rollers are ground to customer specifications, followed by high-speed polishing and cleaning to complete the process. Finish, durometer and dimensions are checked to ensure they conform to customer specs. In fact, a computerized record of each roller is maintained thoughout each manufacturing level to ensure every roller meets our customer's specific needs.


Clarke's fleet of trucks allows us to respond without delay to meet our customers needs. Each of our drivers is trained and experienced in the proper handling of roll coverings.
