New Hudson Corporation, industry leader in lehr roller design and manufacturing and Praxair Surfaces Technologies, industry leader in thermal spray coating technologies, have combined resources to develop ceramic coatings for lehr and lift out roller applications.

The result is an extremely smooth and hard polished roller surface. A surface that can be easily and effectively cleaned either in the plant without special equipment or in-site (in the lehr) at operating temperature. The hard ceramic surface can withstand aggressive cleaning methods without damaging the roller surface. Additionally, the thermal barrier characteristics of the various ceramic-coating options reduce heat transfer between the glass and the lehr roller.

Coatings can be applied to new rollers or as an effective method to restore used stainless steel rollers to like new tolerances with improved performance characteristics.
