Rubber rollers, also called "rubber rolls," are cylindrical tubes used to facilitate movement to machine components. Rubber rollers also provide support and transportation to materials moving through the machine. Rubber roller manufacturers produce rubber rollers that vary widely in size, ranging from one inch to several inches in length. Width also varies.
