What is an exchange roller?

	a roller used in sheetfed printing or some modern heatset web presses
	a roller identified in a Böttcher catalogue as suitable for a specific printing press
	a roller equivalent to the original roller supplied by the printing press manufacturer
	a roller with the original dimensions and the original roller covering - often even an enhanced version of the original roller covering - recommended by the printing press manufacturer
	a roller with the original-quality roller core which may have been used previously, is fully functional and meets all of the quality standards put out by the machine manufacturer
	a roller that can be delevered with or without accessories
	a roller listed in the Böttcher roller catalogue under an article number beginning with 090xxxx (complete with accessories) or 095xxxx (without accessories).

Which rollers are accepted for return and credited to the customer?

In general, all of the rollers covered by our roller exchange program.

Send the rollers to your local Böttcher representative or ship directly to Böttcher in Cologne. Once the rollers are received in Cologne, they are inspected with a special testing unit, which measures core diameter, total length, tolerances (e.g. cylindricity, true running) and journals. These parameters are crucial to perfect printing press operation.

If the core meets these quality standards, a given amount is credited to your account. Cores that do not meet the quality standards are disposed of. No credit is given for these cores.
In other words - you can be sure that the exchange rollers you receive have new-quality cores.
