Custom Heidelberg Printing Machine Rubber Roller
Product Overview:
AstraRoll manufactures direct-fit replacement rubber rollers for Heidelberg GTO 46, 46Z, and 46S offset presses. Our set replicates the OEM color-coded system—Blue, White, Yellow, and Red ink form rollers, plus the Green water roller—so operators can install the correct roller without measuring or cross-referencing part numbers.
Each roller is precision ground to exact original dimensions (e.g., ink rollers at 45.5–51.5mm diameters; water roller at 46mm). Compound hardness is strictly matched to the ink system: 30–35 Shore A for conventional ink rollers, and 40–45 Shore A for UV ink rollers. Available with standard NBR compound or custom EPDM/Silicone formulations.

Custom Heidelberg Printing Machine Rubber Roller Details
Product Overview
AstraRoll’s Custom GTO 46 Rubber Roller Set is engineered as a direct-fit replacement for the inking and dampening systems of Heidelberg GTO 46, GTO 46Z, and GTO 46S conventional offset presses. Replacing worn or glazed rollers is critical for maintaining ink transfer consistency and print quality on these compact sheet-fed machines.
To eliminate installation errors, our rollers are fitted with OEM-standard color-coded end caps corresponding to their specific position on the press. This ensures the machine operator grabs the correct roller at a glance.
