“The roller coater (Uni-Roller® S2) has far exceeded our expectations and has allowed us to bid on jobs we would have had to pass on before. ”
“The biggest benefit from the roller coater (Uni-Roller® S2), compared to our spray systems on the other presses is the ability to apply lubricant evenly on the bottom as well as the top of the material. With the spray systems, to ensure consistent coverage across the entire sheet often requires . . .”

“The benefits are endless”
“Until recently, all of Clover Tool’s stamping operations employed spray systems to apply lubricant, “and we sprayed everything―literally, the lubricant went everywhere,” shares Rob Zeni. “As we watched our lube costs continue to escalate over time, including costs related to disposing of spent lube, we decided early in 2018 . . .”

“I can truly say that we picked the right lubrication system for our equipment.”
“Previous to 1996 Dietrich Industries was using a number of lubrication devices on their roll forming lines. Since then we have standardized on the Unist system, primarily due to the fact that they are much more efficient in the application of lubricant. We have less run out of lubricant on the . . .”

    uni roller s2

    “We moved to a Unist system and our average tooling downtime per week has dropped by 70%.
    We definitely like what we are seeing. The improvement in downtime has been very rewarding for everyone involved.”
    - Tim Farina ShelterLogic/Arrow Storage Products

    Uni-Roller® S2 applications:

    • Punching
    • Stamping
    • Roll forming
    • Fine blanking
    • Deep drawing
    • Application of rust preventives and other protective coatings

    Delivers return on investment in less than 6 months

    That's what many of our customers report. By applying the proper amount of fluid, the Uni-Roller® lubricator uses 50 to 90% less lubricant for coil lubrication. Plus it decreases the mess, the parts cleaning, fluid recycling and costs associated with in-die spray systems, rag technology and externally lubricated rollers.




    The internally-supplied difference
    the Unist internally-fed difference

    The internally-supplied rollers are essential to precisely applying the fluid. Inside each of the rollers is a dispenser tube with small holes placed along its length. Fluid is injected into the dispenser tubes from the fluid controller and dispensed across the inside of the rollers.

    The lubricant is transferred to the stock through durable polyester felt or polyurethane foam roller covers. These cover materials apply the lubricant smoothly and evenly across both the top and bottom of the stock.

    The Uni-Roller® S2 Powered applies the exact amount of lubricant required. This eliminates the mess and waste associated with in-die spray systems and externally lubricated roller systems. The result is not only a cleaner shop, but also significant savings from decreased fluid waste, improved die life, better part quality and increased machine up-time. Many customers have reported savings resulting in a return on investment of less than six months!

     


    Uni-Roller smooth consistent stock lubrication coating

    Uni-Roller® systems deliver smooth and consistent lubrication.



    Construction

    The brushed stainless steel guards protect the rollers and guide material when loading coil stock or feeding blanks. With the guards removed for better access, a roller can be changed in about a minute using a single wrench. The Uni-Roller® S2 is built to handle any manufacturing environment without sacrificing ease of maintenance.

    Built to fit your application

    The Uni-Roller® S2 is modular in design. A single roller set is used for widths of 18” [457.2 mm] or less. For stock over 18” [457.2 mm] wide, multiple 12” [304.8 mm] wide roller sets are staggered and overlapped. Standard sizes are available to accommodate common stock widths, with custom sizes available on request.
