Our chrome plated corrugating rolls are manufactured from 50CrMoA alloy steel, then heat treated and precision-ground to ensure dimensional accuracy and structural strength. A hard chrome coating thicker than 0.08 mm is applied to the surface, creating a durable protective layer that significantly reduces friction at the flute tips. This improves wear resistance and helps maintain consistent flute geometry over time, extending the overall service life of the corrugating roll.

The resulting surface is smooth, bright, and resistant to wear, offering stable and reliable performance in standard-speed corrugated board production lines. To further support long-term use, we also provide regrinding and chrome recoating services, restoring worn rolls to working condition and helping customers reduce replacement frequency and overall maintenance costs.

Applications

Chrome plated corrugating rolls are suitable for producing a variety of corrugated board types, including A, B, C, E, F, and N flute profiles, in standard corrugated board production lines.

Features
  • Each flute profile is designed using computer-aided tools, offering solutions for A, B, C, E, F, and N flutes. Roll specifications such as diameter, length, flute height, and flutes per meter are precisely defined to ensure performance, durability, and production efficiency across a wide range of applications.
  • Manufactured from premium 50CrMoA forged alloy steel, the roll body delivers high mechanical strength and structural stability, even under high-load operating conditions.
  • Using advanced CNC grinding machines, we achieve a roundness tolerance within 10 μm, meeting international precision standards. Combined with our optimized flute designs, these rolls are engineered to support the speed, efficiency, and board quality requirements of modern corrugated production lines.
  • A multi-stage heat treatment process is applied, including repeated stress relief and medium-frequency surface hardening, ensuring a surface hardness of HRC > 58 (HS 73–80) with uniform hardness across the entire roll and no soft zones.
Material

Made from 50CrMoA forged alloy steel sourced from Zhongyuan Special Steel, a top-tier Chinese supplier. The material offers high strength, wear resistance, and thermal stability, ideal for high-speed corrugating applications.

  • 50CrMoA forged alloy steel for strength and durability
  • Corrugating roll body thickness ≥ 75 mm
Coating

Finished with hard chrome plating, with a coating thickness of 0.08–0.10 mm and a uniformity tolerance within ±0.01 mm to ensure consistent performance and wear resistance.

  • Praxair JP8000 thermal spray system
  • Sand blasting
  • Tungsten carbide coating
Heat Treatment Process

A composite treatment combining nitriding, quenching, tempering, and cryogenic cooling at –190 °C is applied to the roll surface. This process achieves a surface hardness of HRC ≥ 60, ensuring long-term durability and wear resistance.

  • Combined heat treatment
  • Nitriding
  • Medium frequency quenching
Packaging

Vacuum-sealed with anti-rust protection and packed in shock-resistant wooden crates, suitable for long-distance sea transport.

Inspection Process

The quality control system includes 12 strict steps, covering every stage from raw materials to the finished product.

The process involves:
Raw material testing → weld air-tightness → dynamic balancing → hardness, flute profile and dimensions → pressure testing → coating thickness → final inspection.

We can manufacture corrugating rolls with a maximum width of 3600 mm and a maximum diameter of 600 mm, suitable for a wide range of corrugator configurations.

Available heating options include peripheral heating, siphon pipe steam heating, electric heating, and oil heating. Each method is selected based on the performance needs of the single facer.

Both external and internal vacuum systems are available. Slot designs include diagonal cuts, straight slots, and micro slotted channels to match different production setups.

We apply a combined heat treatment process that includes nitriding, medium frequency quenching, tempering, and cryogenic treatment. This results in surface hardness levels exceeding HRC 60.

Yes, we offer customized flute profile designs tailored to board height, stacking strength, and take-up rate requirements. Compared to standard designs, our flute profiles reduce paper usage by 0.5%–1% without compromising board strength. UV and UVV flute types are also available to enhance flat crush resistance, improve bonding, and reduce glue consumption.
