ML6 Polyurethane for High-Volume Mailroom Applications

Meridian Laboratory’s ML6 polyurethane parts are used in high-volume mailroom applications, including material printing, mailroom equipment, and label application systems. ML6 rollers and bearings are precision molded, without grinding needed, for unrivaled tolerances that hold up over time. ML6 polyurethane mailroom parts exhibit exemplary bond strength, resisting wear even under consistent use, for extended equipment life and less downtime. ML6 components often outperform OEM parts in both quality and cost and provide the dependable and long-lasting performance desired in these operations.

Application & Uses

Common Applications & Uses for Molded Polyurethane Products in the Mailroom

Long-Lasting Performance with High Friction

ML6 polyurethane singulators, drive wheels, covered bearings, and idler rollers are heavily used across mailroom printing equipment from Bell and Howell to Pitney Bowes, Surefeed, Streamfeeder, and more.

The ML6 Advantage

ML6 molded polyurethane provides high friction and achieves unbeatable tolerances without grinding, unlike ground parts that degrade in performance over time. ML6 parts outperform OEM options in both quality and pricing, and we offer material flexibility to suit specific application needs.

Lasting Bond Strength & Longevity

ML6 polyurethane mail room parts are used in various printers, feeders, folders, inserters, and sealing equipment within high volume mailrooms.

The ML6 Advantage

ML6 polyurethane parts maintain longevity without degradation or change through repeated and high-volume use. The bond strength between the polyurethane and core remains constant over extended cycles, without delamination.

Precision Molded & Long-Term Performance

ML6 polyurethane coated shafts and rollers are used to apply labels onto packages, envelopes, and other mailroom products.

The ML6 Advantage

ML6 polyurethane rollers and shafts are precision molded directly to size without grinding, resulting in better and longer-lasting performance. Strong bond strength ensures maximum return on investment over time.

Engineering Capabilities & Services

Meridian Laboratory provides application-specific design support to ensure every ML6 polyurethane part meets the exact needs of the system it supports. Our team offers expert guidance during initial design phases and can cross-reference and reverse engineer OEM and competitor part numbers to offer direct replacements or improved alternatives for fit, function, and performance.

  • Application-specific design consultation
  • Competitor & OEM cross-referencing

We partner closely with customers to analyze part failures, understand field challenges, and develop improved solutions using ML6 polyurethane. Our ability to formulate custom polyurethane blends allows us to tailor material properties such as abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility, and flexibility to suit even the most demanding environments.

  • Part failure analysis
  • Custom polyurethane blends for specific applications

From one-off prototypes to high-volume production, Meridian Laboratory’s precision machining capabilities ensure ML6 polyurethane parts are manufactured to exact tolerances. With both CNC and manual equipment—including automated bar feeders and precision inspection tools that measure features as small as 0.000027”—we deliver exceptional consistency and repeatability, regardless of part complexity or volume.

  • CNC and manual machining equipment to support all volumes
  • Ability to machine 1-off prototypes
  • Automated bar feeders and parts catching for maximum output
  • Precision measurement equipment capable of measuring to 0.000027” (0.0006858mm)

Our in-house manufacturing process is supported by ERP-driven process control, giving full traceability and quality assurance. We offer both low and high-volume production runs, custom laser marking for part identification, and streamlined sourcing to keep lead times short and pricing competitive.

  • ERP inventory and manufacturing order tracking systems
  • Custom laser marking
  • High and low volume production

All molds and tooling for ML6 polyurethane components are designed, machined, and maintained in-house, ensuring tight control over part accuracy, consistency, and turnaround times. By storing and servicing molds on-site, we support both long-term repeat orders and fast iterations on new or evolving part designs.

  • In-house manufacturing of all molds and tooling
  • Storage and maintenance of molds

Meridian Laboratory specializes in prototyping ML6 molded polyurethane parts, enabling engineers to test fit, form, and function early in the development process. With no minimum order quantities, our process supports quick, cost-effective iterations without the delay or expense of full production tooling.

  • In-house tooling enables fast turnaround on prototype parts
  • Wide range of durometers available for real-world testing
  • Direct collaboration with engineers for optimized designs

Parts can undergo rigorous testing and can also include First Article Inspection (FAI) and Certificates of Conformance (CoC), to ensure compliance with application and performance standards. We also perform customer-specific validation tests and material compatibility reviews to confirm ML6 polyurethane meets or exceeds functional expectations in real-world conditions.
