Large Industrial Rollers & Conveyor Drums, Built Where Others Stop
Rollers, drums and pulleys up to Ø3,200 mm, 6,000 mm long and 12 tonnes, turned, ground, hard-chrome plated and balanced to your drawing. Plus conveyor idlers and smaller rollers in series.
The Big Rollers Most Roller Shops Can't Turn
Most roller suppliers are built around standard conveyor idlers. When a roller gets heavier than a few hundred kilos, or wider than a standard lathe swing, they send it elsewhere. That's where we start.
Our heavy lathe in Pınarbaşı, İzmir takes roller bodies up to 3,200 mm in diameter, 6,000 mm long and 12 tonnes. We weld the shell, turn it in one setup where the part allows and balance the finished roller before it ships. Rolls that need a ground or chromed surface are ground and hard-chrome plated across the full size range, up to Ø3,200 mm.
- Drive drums and head pulleys for high-tension belt conveyors
- Large process rolls for paper, steel and processing lines
- Heavy welded roller shells with stepped shafts
- One-off replacement rolls and repeat orders on a frozen drawing

From Drawing to Balanced, Ready-to-Install Roller
Drawing & feasibility
We review dimensions, tolerances, material, bearing arrangement and surface spec, and flag anything that adds cost without adding life.
Shell & shaft preparation
Tube or rolled-plate shells, end discs and shafts are prepared in the specified grade with heat-number traceability.
Welding
End discs, hubs and shafts are welded under EN 1090 EXC3 and ISO 3834-2 control, with stock left for machining.
Turning & grinding
The shell and journals are turned on our heavy lathe, then ground to the runout and surface finish on the drawing.
Coating & balancing
Chrome plating, rubber or ceramic lagging, PU coating or paint is applied, then the roller is dynamically balanced.
Inspection & packing
Dimensional check, 3.1 certificates, bearings fitted if required, and export packing on skids or in crates.
Worn Roller? Repair It or Replace It, Fast
A stopped conveyor or process line costs more every hour than the roller itself. We repair worn rollers and drums, or build an exact replacement from your drawing, a measured sketch or the old part.
- Regrinding and rechroming of worn roll surfaces
- Journal and bearing-seat repair by build-up welding and machining
- Relagging of conveyor drums in rubber or ceramic
- Reverse engineering of rollers with no drawing available
- Rebalancing after repair
Rollers for Heavy Industry and Process Lines
Wherever material moves on a belt or a web runs over a roll, a roller decides how long the line runs between stops.

Industrial Roller and Conveyor Drum Manufacturer for Europe and Beyond
Nika Rollers is the roller division of Nika Steelworks, a steel manufacturing company in İzmir, Türkiye working with steel since 1972. We manufacture industrial rollers, conveyor drums and pulleys, conveyor idlers and roll equipment for mining, quarrying, cement, paper, food and metal processing companies, and for the machine builders and engineering firms that supply them.
Large diameter rollers up to Ø3,200 mm
Large rollers are where a roller supplier proves its equipment. A drum of two or three metres in diameter needs a lathe with the swing to hold it, cranes to move it and a team that has machined heavy parts before. We turn large diameter industrial rollers up to 3,200 mm in diameter, 6,000 mm long and 12 tonnes, so heavy rolls do not need to be split between several subcontractors. The same team that welds the shell turns, grinds, plates and balances it.
Conveyor drums, pulleys and idlers
For belt conveyors we build conveyor drums and pulleys in every position: drive and head pulleys, tail pulleys, bend, snub and take-up pulleys. Drums can be supplied with rubber or ceramic lagging, complete with shaft, bearings and housings. Along the belt, our conveyor rollers and idlers and conveyor stations carry and guide the load, from standard carrying rollers to impact idlers under transfer points.
Ground, chrome-plated and coated process rolls
Process lines demand more than a turned surface. We grind rolls up to Ø3,200 mm to 0.01 mm runout through our roll grinding service, apply hard chrome plating for wear and corrosion resistance, and supply rubber and polyurethane coated rollers for grip, cushioning and food-contact applications. Press, calender and guide rolls are dynamically balanced so they run smoothly at line speed.
Roller repair and replacement rollers
Many of our orders start with a worn roller and a stopped line. Our roller repair and refurbishment service covers regrinding, rechroming, journal repair, build-up welding and relagging. When repair is not worth it, we build replacement rollers from your drawing, a measured sketch or the old part itself.
Heavy turning beyond rollers
The machines that turn our largest rollers also turn other heavy cylindrical parts: shafts, shells, sleeves and rings. If you need a large part turned to drawing, see our heavy lathe turning services and roll and heavy shafts. For hydraulic cylinders, we also make pistons and piston rods in series. For welded frames and fabrications for the same machine, visit Nika Steelworks; for gears and transmission parts, visit Nika Gears.
Why buy rollers from Türkiye
