How roll condition affects the repair
Whether a roll is repaired or replaced depends on what the teardown finds. Worn coverings and damaged journals, bearing housings or clutch blocks can often be addressed by recoating or replacing those components. When damage reaches the roll body, inspection and run-out checks show whether it can be restored to OEM tolerances or whether a new roll is the better choice.
Either way, rolls repaired or built by CBM are made to or above OEM specifications, with the same warranty as the OEM.
