Industrial rollers and cylinders are key components in machinery used for handling, pressing, drying and finishing materials across a wide range of industries.
Even the most robust equipment will wear over time, so regular maintenance is essential to protect machinery, reduce vibration, and maintain a consistent finish on the materials being processed.
Roll grinding and cylinder resurfacing restore accuracy and extend service life, avoiding product defects, unexpected breakdowns and costly downtime.
At Burnley Balancing we have decades of specialist experience in this field. As the North West’s leading cylinder resurfacing company, we work with a wide range of industries to return rollers and cylinders to precise tolerances, using modern grinding machinery and proven engineering expertise.
When refurbishment is no longer viable, we are also able to supply and manufacture replacement rollers and shafts to exact customer specifications, ensuring continuity of performance and reliability.
Types of rollers and cylinders we service include:
- Steel and cast-iron rolls
- Calender and press rolls
- Drying cylinders
- Other bespoke or specialist industrial cylinders
We can accommodate a wide range of cylinder types, sizes and weights, with grinding tolerances available on request. Please get in touch with our experienced team to learn more.
Why invest in cylinder resurfacing?
Surface defects, out-of-round wear and profile distortion can all compromise product quality and accelerate machinery failure. Our grinding and resurfacing process corrects these issues, restoring diameter, straightness and surface finish to OEM specification.
While resurfacing requires some investment, it is typically far more economical than full replacement, particularly where bespoke rolls or large-scale components are involved. The result is improved efficiency, reduced energy use, and longer equipment life.
Our services include:
- Precision roll grinding
- Cylinder resurfacing for worn or corroded surfaces
- Profile and straightness correction
- Surface finishing to improve performance and reduce vibration
Burnley Balancing has built its reputation on engineering precision and reliability. We are trusted by companies across the North West and the wider UK to provide roll grinding and cylinder resurfacing services that keep critical machinery operating at peak performance.
