§01 · About Gopal Engineering Works
We've been making rollers since 2000.
A direct manufacturer — not a trader — of industrial air shafts, rubber rollers, hard-chrome rollers and sleeves. In-house manufacturing and inspection under one roof in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, building to customer drawings since 2000.
Engineered to chase out every wrinkle.

Gopal Engineering Works was founded in 2000 as a professionally managed, direct manufacturer of air shafts and rubber rollers. The workshop sits at D-4, Dev Estate, Piplaj Pirana Road, Ahmedabad 382405 — in the heart of the industrial belt the company has served for more than 25 years.
Everything happens under one roof. Engineering, rubber compounding, bonding, grinding, balancing, hard-chrome plating, and final inspection — no sub-contracting, no middlemen. When a roller leaves this workshop, it has been built, checked, and approved by the same team that made it.
The approach is build-to-drawing. Every job starts with the customer's specification: diameter, face length, core material, rubber compound, Shore hardness, surface finish. The engineering is done here; the roller is made here; the inspection is done here.
Today the workshop builds across eleven product lines — air shafts (lug, multi-tube, expanding, core/roller shafts, rubber tubes, brass valves), hard-chrome, mild steel, anilox, expander, conveyor, idler and ebonite rollers, rubber rollers (nitrile, neoprene, silicone, PU, synthetic), and sleeves (air expander, friction/differential, adapter, FRP, rubber-coated) — for customers in plastic, printing, packaging, paper, textile, lamination, converting and steel industries across India.
In addition to new manufacture, the workshop offers reconditioning, re-rubbering and re-chroming of worn rollers — extending service life and reducing replacement cost for customers running continuous production lines.
The final inspection on every roller is carried out by technically sound engineers — not a sign-off, but an actual dimensional, hardness and balance check against the original drawing.
§03 · Why manufacturers choose us
Built and inspected under one roof.
25+ years of in-house manufacturing in Ahmedabad — engineering, compounding, grinding, plating and inspection without sub-contracting.
01
Direct manufacturer
We design, build, inspect and ship from a single Ahmedabad workshop. No traders, no intermediaries — you deal with the people who made the roller.
02
Build-to-drawing
Every roller starts with your drawing or specification. Diameter, face length, compound, hardness, finish — engineered to what you need, not to a catalogue.
03
In-house inspection
Dimensional accuracy, Shore hardness across the full face, concentricity, and dynamic balance are checked in-house before any roller ships.
04
Reconditioning & re-rubbering
Worn rollers are reconditioned, re-rubbered or re-chromed in the same workshop. Faster turnaround, lower cost than full replacement.
§04 · The Team
Every roller is built by the people.
A small, hands-on team in Ahmedabad — from the shop floor to the front office.
01Proprietor
Prakash Mistry
He keeps the shop to one rule: the roller has to run true, and the cover has to hold up. Every job leaves the Ahmedabad workshop measured against it.

05§05 · Principles
Seven principles we work by.
The standards every roller is held to before it leaves the workshop. Inspection is carried out by technically sound, experienced engineers.
- 01
Dimensional accuracy
Every roller is built to drawing — diameter, length, concentricity. Stage-wise checks ensure dimensions hold through grinding and balancing.
- 02
Proper polymer selection
The compound is chosen for the job — abrasion, temperature, chemical resistance. Nine polymer families on hand: Nitrile, EPDM, PU, Silicone, Neoprene, Natural, Hypalon, Viton, Butyl.
- 03
Uniform hardness
Hardness is checked across the full face of the roller, not just at the ends. The Shore A reading is consistent end-to-end, every time.
- 04
Excellent metal-core bonding
The rubber bonds to the core through a controlled adhesion process — so the cover holds under load, heat and continuous run.
- 05
Optimum tensile & elongation
Every batch of compound is tested for tensile strength and elongation before it touches a core. No surprises in the field.
- 06
Lowest compression set, dynamically balanced
Rollers are dynamically balanced before they ship — and the compound is formulated for low compression set so the roller stays round under continuous nip pressure.
- 07
Quick response & delivery
Quotes go out fast and lead times are honoured. Repair work is treated with the same urgency as new build.
