Rolls manufactured by Bowers & Jones are produced using high quality tool steels. For rolls of large dimensions, powerful forging facilities ensure that there is sufficient deformation of the forged material through to the core. We can draw on many years of experience for the selection of the optimum material.

The rolls are produced in our modern well equipped workshop on CNC high precision machines. Our experienced machinists use the latest tooling technology enabling rolls to be machined to tight tolerances and achieve the highest quality of finish.

Naturally, the hardening process is controlled by us; the heat treatment is matched to the steel quality and the application. Additional surface treatments can further enhance the performance of the tooling; a selection of surface treatments is available, which can be selected depending on application and/or operational demands.
