Rolling rubberisation is not just about applying a layer of rubber. It is a complex engineering task, the successful solution of which affects the stability of the production process, equipment life and product quality. 

Dessa-NV has been specialising in the processing of shafts with various types of elastomeric coatings for over 25 years. We work with shafts up to 7 metres long, up to 900 mm in diameter and weighing up to 10 tonnes.

🔍 How professional rubberisation works

1. Preparation of the base:
   The rod is cleaned, ground and degreased. If necessary, the rod is turned or a new rod is manufactured.
2. Application of the adhesive system:
   To ensure a tight bond between rubber and metal, we use multi-component adhesives that can withstand high temperatures and loads.
3. Vulcanisation:
   The coating is applied and cured in an autoclave or continuously, depending on the type of rubber.
4. Grinding and balancing:
   Shaft machining to an accuracy of 0.01 mm, profile shaping (straight, bombardment, cone, saddle, etc.), runout control and dynamic balancing.

📐 How to choose a coating material

The right rubber is a combination of technical feasibility, chemical resistance and optimum service life. We work with more than 150 types of materials, including:

• NBR is oil-resistant, ideal for metallurgy and printing.
• EPDM - withstands aggressive environments.
• SBR - high abrasion resistance, used in transport systems.
• XNBR, HNBR, NE - special mixtures for high loads.
• Silicones - temperature resistance up to +250 °C.
• Polyurethanes - hardness up to 95 Shore A, for extreme loads.
