PFE's roll repair services include welding or sleeving damaged journals, total journal replacement, bearing replacement, and surface refinishing. Worn roll surfaces can also be rebuilt using special welding techniques to achieve original diameters. Stainless steel can be added for greater corrosion resistance or a harder roll surface. Common custom platings include chrome, electroless nickel and copper, or combined platings to achieve a unique corrosion resistance surface. Coatings include any rubber or elastomer compound, Teflon, plasma, ceramic, and more. Also, double shelled rolls can be re-shelled with the internal passages reconditioned and a new shell applied returning the roll to its original heat transfer capabilities.
