Our Fibreglass Easysleeves.

North West Roller Services Ltd have manufactured conical and parallel fibreglass sleeves for more than 22 years at our state-of-the-art facility in Cheshire, the UK.

We supply fibreglass sleeves to a range of sectors, including:

• Packaging
• Laminating
• Industrial

Our experience and technology mean we have the expertise to convert existing printing and roller lamination machinery so it can utilise our fibreglass system instead.

Our aim is to help you reduce your costs and production downtime.

Let’s look at this in more detail:

Why the Fibreglass Sleeve System?

It’s worth considering a fibreglass sleeve system because it reduces the need and reliance upon heavy crates and lifting equipment, as well as the reliance on specialised storage systems. In addition, sleeves can be easily transported because of their lightweight construction.

North West Roller Services Ltd have developed a complete fibreglass sleeve system that includes air cylinders for industry-standard fibreglass. This is called the Easysleeve System.

The Easysleeve® System

Our Easysleeve System is the safest tapered system available in the world.

It is used by the following industries:

• Printing
• Coating
• Laminating
• Flexography

…And many more.

Our Easysleeves accept ESA compounds and rubber coverings for increased repeat lengths and all types of plates, including laser engraved and photopolymer.

Easysleeve® is offered for the following applications:

• Anilox Covers
• ‘Easytint’ Rubber Tinting Sleeves
• ‘Easysleeve’ Release Agent
• Gravure Impression Sleeves
• Laser Engraved ITR Sleeves
• Mounting Sleeves
• Pad Sleeves
• Solvent And Solvent-Free Lamination

The Benefits

Aside from our use of air cylinders for industry-standard fibreglass, other benefits include:

• Our fibreglass is adaptable, i.e., they are suitable for printing a wide range of products, including paper tissues and cement bags.
• No Slip Guarantee: We are the only manufacturer to provide this. If correctly fitted, our Easysleeve Sleeves will not slip on the mandrel in normal use.
• Light in weight and simple to handle, including fast changeovers
