Custom colors, wall thickness and durometers are available upon request. MWI sleeves are cut and installed at our facility. Please follow Sleeve Installation Instructions if ordering loose sleeves.

Heat-Shrink Sleeves

Plastic heat-shrink sleeves are a great economical solution for applications that require non-marking, chemical-resistant, easy-to-install on-site roller coverings. Teflon® heat-shrink sleeves are also available.

Tapered Urethane Sleeves

MWI tapered sleeves, with their high COF and ability to stretch, easily convert standard 1.9” diameter and 2.5” diameter straight rollers into high-traction, high-performance tapered rollers (0.311” taper per side per foot, for 41.5” inside radius).

MWI can also custom-make sleeves with a consistent wall thickness to fit tapered rollers, providing the same advantages of our straight roller sleeves for the tapers.

Tapered sleeves are available in solid urethane for higher load capacity and microcellular urethane for light-weight conveying. Microcellular urethane sleeves are exceptional for shock-control, vibration and noise reduction.
