We provide total solutions for rubber roller refurbishing facilities under one roof, be it machinery, tools, features, QC equipment, raw materials comprising ready-to-use rubber compounds and cores, finished goods, and technical support.
With total turnover experiencing phenomenal growth over the last five years Zenith has emerged as a multi-million dollar conglomerate and a world leader in the rubber roller industry.
Zenith R&D team has developed a new genre of rubber compound for printing rollers, the “Super Combi which has the same chemistry as that of original printing rollers manufactures. The rollers manufactured with this compound maintain dimensional and hardness stability for a longer span of lime.
SuperFlex has been successfully accepted in the market by our valued customer after its successful launch 6 years back. This compound which has been manufactured from German raw-material has been a success in the Domestic and well as International Market. The roller manufactured with this compound is now coming with 2 years warranty.
Some of the characteristics have been listed below.
Characteristics of the compound “SUPERLEX” is given below:-
Zenith faces big challenges every day in order to keep you as a satisfied customer, we must continuously come up with improved solutions and products.
One of our new innovations is our newly developed compound “Super Rock’, This is a specially developed compound that has a very fine finish and is very hard & durable. The mechanical and chemical resistance properties of “Super Rock’ is very superior to any traditional medium and it increases the service life of the rollers even in the most demanding conditions such as increased surface temperature, higher friction efficiency, swelling tendencies of mineral/vegetable oil based ink which becomes significant in high-speed machines.
Specially developed compound with 5 years warranty

Flexography is the major process used to print on packaging materials. Flexography printing besically prints on LD/HM/PP/Nylon/HDPP/HDPE/Poly/Non-woven/corrugated boxes/disposable cups/tapes and wrappers.
The selection of rubber compounds is the key of their printing performance in Flexography. All rubber compounds coverings possess unique properties that determine suitable for particular applications.
Flexography uses fast drying inks for printing process and can print on absorbent and non-absorbent substrates that is the reason it is important that the rubber rollers used in these machines are suitable for these kind of printing process.
Some of the characteristics of the Flexography rubber rollers have been highlighted below.
Excellent Chemical Resistance: – As this industry uses various types of inks which contain different types of solvents and chemicals which are used to maintain ink viscosity or flow at the time of printing. Zenith rubber compound has been formulated to withstand such usage.
Hardness stability: – As in all types of rubber rollers uses in flexible packaging the Hardness of rubber rollers is the most important factor. Swelling or softening of the compound is restricted and hence maintains the hardness of the roller stability.
Abrasion Resistance: – Zenith has formulated the rubber compound which does not wear out easily despite of the use of various solvents and chemicals in the inks, there by maintaining its structure.
Longer Life of The Rubber Roller: – As all industries work on cost saving to increase the profit of the company. On this view, Zenith formulated the rubber compound which has long run-ability.
Anilox Rollers are essential components in Flexo Printing, Carton Printing, and Coating. Anilox Rollers are precision engraved rollers, designed and manufactured to apply the exact volume of ink/coating, cooperating with the doctor blade chamber, to printing plates. Compared with traditional Machine Engraved Chrome Coated Anilox Rollers, Laser Engraved Ceramic Anilox Rollers have significant advantages of accuracy and durability. Anilox Rollers are measured by screen counting, angle of engraving, depth, and volume. An optimum engraving is achieved when all these factors are balanced in relation to the specific requirement of printing and coating.
Electro-mechanical engraved Copper chrome plated Anilox from ZENITH, provides high quality even in chrome plated coating, which has good chemical stability and its hard surface provides excellent anti-corrosion and wear resistance. Round, smooth and uniform cells ensure efficient and even ink release. Controlled cell opening and depth ensure a precise amount of ink transfer.
Rotogravure printing process is a high-speed printing process in flexible industries. It is rolled to roll printing process with a speed of up to 400-500 meter/min. Gravure printing basically prints on low-thickness printing material like PET/BOPP/NYLON/PVC/LD etc. For this process, excellent impression rubber rollers are required. The basis on which Zenith has formulated a special compound for Gravure Printing. This specially formulated rubber compound for the printing industry, provides excellent resistance to solvent base ink, chemical, pressure, and heat with the best of its physical properties. It stands as the most ideal rubber for rotogravure and printing applications.
Characteristics of the Gravure Printing rubber rollers have been highlighted below.
Excellent Chemical Resistance: – As this industry uses various types of inks which contain different types of solvents and chemicals which are used to maintain ink viscosity or flow at the time of printing. Zenith rubber compound has been formulated to withstand such usage.
Hardness stability: – As in all types of rubber rollers uses in flexible packaging the Hardness of rubber rollers is the most important factor. Swelling or softening of the compound is restricted and hence maintains the hardness of the roller stability.
Excellent Resiliency Ability: – even though there are high-speed machines, the roller maintains its shape and elasticity which is very important for the roller to function properly.
Low Heat Build-Up: – Printing and lamination is done on high-speed machines where it’s important that the roller is not heated. Rollers made of Zenith compound have low heat build-up. Thereby maintaining its shape, Hardness, and surface integrity.
Longer Life of the Rubber Roller: – As all industries work on the cost saving to increase the profit of the company. On this view, Zenith formulated the rubber compound which has long run-ability.
