High-Temp Bearings and Rollers for Any Application
High-temperature rollers are a necessity in many operations, including warehousing, material handling, agriculture and food processing. Some of the most common applications for heat-resistant rollers include:
- Sanitation: Material sanitization requires rollers to withstand temperatures of 420 degrees Fahrenheit, which many of our material styles accommodate.
- Curing or baking: From preparing food to processing specialty coatings, rollers must stand firm against extreme temperatures and potentially wet or corrosive materials — all of which our equipment can withstand.
- Product preservation: Certain products may need to be stored or prepared at high temperatures to preserve freshness, appearance or effectiveness. Our high-temperature conveyor rollers will help them maintain readiness.
- Packaging: Many facilities rely on packaging and shipping operations involving heat sealing and protection. Rolcon’s solutions ensure you can properly package your products for safe transportation.
Regardless of your reasons for needing high-temp rollers, bearings and other conveyor accessories, Rolcon will work with you to design solutions that meet or exceed all your requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Standard O-rings are typically only rated for 130 degree F and are not suited for high temp applicaitons. Viton and Silicone are the best options for high temp but there are trade off’s that must be considered when using orings in high temp applicaitons. Mainly a reduction in elasticity and wear when going to those materials.
The rollers on our site are our standard offerings. If you can’t find the roller you are looking for call or send and email. We do a lot of custom rollers and we can probably help you with a custom roller.

A good rule of thumb is if your conveyor is running at 200′ per minute and HIGHER then a precision bearing will give you the most benefits. Lower than that a non-precision bearing will work well.
You can spot a failing bearing by looking for these four early warnng signs: Auditory – grinding or screeching, clicking or rhythmic popping and increased hum. Touch – heat and vibration. Is the bearing excessively hot to the touch? Is the frame vibrating more to the touch? Both of these indicate a failing bearing. Spin – If the roller is not spinning freely OR there is excessive wobble between the bearing and the axle the bearing could be going bad. Visual – If the bearing is “bleeding” grease or there is metal dust around the bearing it could be a sign that the bearing is going bad.
