Graphic rollers are found in every printing process: offset (sheetfed and web), rotogravure, flexography. Industrial rollers are used primarily in the metal, plastics, wood, textile and paper industries. In close co-operation with systems manufacturers and operators, we develop and produce the right covering material and the optimi­sed roller for each different production process.

We produce machine components that meet highest standards and withstand extreme stress and strain in continuous three-shift operation. The covering material is a flexible rubber or plastic compound. Geometry, surface quality and compounding combine to produce the ideal covering. For development and design, we provide our customers a roller dimensioning program, nip-width calculation and core configuration.

A holistic approach and a commitment to total customer satisfaction - from development and design to produc­tion, quality assurance and commissioning - that is what we offer. Long-term customer contact and consulting support - that is our contribution to ensuring the pro­ductivity and business success of our partners.

The goal is high-quality, application-based products with a wide range of different characteristics for the achieve­ment of optimum results. Thus the materials used in roller coverings must meet the highest standards. Only constant, consistently reproducible rubber qualities guarantee compliance with tough technical standards for the initial covering of rollers or the recovering of rollers. Böttcher Industrie in Grafschaft-Gelsdorf produces all product compounds using processes developed exclusively by Böttcher. As sheet, strip or roll goods, they are supplied to Böttcher Group production facilities world-wide for further processing - a reliable basis for quality.

Böttcher know-how is in demand throughout the world. This gives our customers a decided technical and economic advantage. We promote employee qualification and motivation for individual productivity. Competent specialists in a number of different disciplines with interdisciplinary experience and equipment and machines for testing, inspections, simulation along with state-of-the-art production technology guarantee optimum reliability for systems manufacturers and operators. Böttcher audits and certifies equipment and processes in accordance with international standards, e.g. the VDEh test certificate and compliance with ISO 9001, for single unit or serial production, for initial covering of rollers or the recovering of rollers.
