The Next Generation Roller for Nevada Gold® ticket dispensers is an upgrade to the current rollers that have been in the field for decades.
The Next Generation Feed Roller significantly enhances the ability of the back feed roller to dispense tickets. The upgraded design and materials were engineered to provide superior traction and longer durability.
We have changed the color of the Next Generation Feed Roller to black for two reasons:
- The new color will offer easy recognition to your technician when determining when the wheel was last changed.
- The roller’s darker color highlights any accumulation of light colored paper dust, shavings, or clay on the wheel. The accumulation of these materials indicates the need for preventative maintenance.
Going forward all feed rollers will be sold with the shaft attached. This roller upgrade will be the new roller standard.

Objective
To clean the rollers of dirt and dust that settle upon the grooves of the roller and impede the roller’s ability to grab and feed tickets.Nevada Gold Roller.
Preparation
- Empty the columns
- Turn off and unplug the machine
Materials
- Small, soft and durable cloth/towel (required)
- Warm water (required)
- Distilled white vinegar – with an acidity of 5-8% (optional)
- 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol (optional)
- Soft-bristle toothbrush (optional)
Procedure
Use the cloth and a small amount of water to clean the rollers in the following manner:
- While turning the big column gear by hand (red arrows), push down with the damp cloth on the roller and swipe from side to side (green arrows).
- Inspect the cloth, if there is dirt on the area of the cloth that was pushed against the roller, use a clean section of the cloth and repeat the above process.
- Continue until the roller no longer deposits dirt on the cloth.
Notes
1. Arrow International recommends first using a cloth and warm water. For persistent stains, substitute white vinegar in place of water. Rubbing alcohol can also be used in place of water but it may dry out the rollers faster than white vinegar, so, the latter is recommended.
2. Once the grooves on the rollers wear out, no amount of cleaning will restore the rollers to their original function. Rollers are wear and tear parts – similar to car tires – and if the rollers are clean, but smooth, they need to be replaced.
3.CAUTION: do not turn on the machine until you are certain that all liquids have evaporated
Scheduling
Depends on machine usage and customer preference. Some options include:
- Only when dispensing problems begin to manifest, and columns are not dispensing tickets properly
- Whenever loading a new deal of tickets (since the columns are already empty)
- A set schedule depending on the usage of the machine (for example every 3 weeks, or every 2 months)
