Fed up with sending gripper wheels away for expensive re-gripping? Gripper Boss replaces your OEM wheels with a two-part system featuring replaceable gripper bands—just rip out worn bands and push in new ones.
No machine stripping. No specialist charges. No days or weeks of waiting. Change bands between jobs and get back to production immediately.
OEM gripper wheels bond metal + rubber together permanently. When the rubber wears down—and it always does—you're stuck with two terrible options:
Option 1: Send wheels for re-gripping
Option 2: Buy new OEM wheels
Even more expensive—often hundreds of pounds per wheel. Plus OEM rubber quality is often poor, so you'll be replacing them again soon.
Replace OEM wheels once with Gripper Boss—then change bands in seconds forever. The two-part system uses a metal wheel with grooves that accept replaceable gripper bands.
The Two-Part System:
When you notice grip quality declining or sheets slipping, it's time to change bands. Takes seconds to assess.
Simply pull the worn bands out of the wheel grooves. No tools, no disassembly, no machine stripping. They rip out easily when worn.
For easier insertion, warm bands slightly in your hands or with warm water. Makes them more pliable for snapping into grooves.
Press new bands into the wheel grooves until fully seated. The bands snap into place securely—no adhesive, no specialist equipment.
Check grip and resume production—total time: seconds. No recalibration, no specialist sign-off, no waiting.
Change bands between jobs. Zero production downtime.
No more waiting days or weeks for specialist re-gripping. Change bands in seconds between jobs. Zero production delays, zero rush charges, zero scheduling headaches.
Result: Continuous production, no unplanned stoppages
Gripper bands cost a fraction of specialist re-gripping or new OEM wheels. Stock bands on-site for predictable maintenance costs—no surprise invoices.
Result: 90%+ savings vs OEM re-gripping over 5 years
Premium rubber compound delivers better grip than OEM rubber. More consistent sheet transport, fewer misfeeds, improved registration—especially critical with Technifold finishing tools.
Result: Better quality, fewer jams, consistent performance
