Aluminium Fluted Rollers for Fibreglass Laminating & Epoxy Resin Systems
Price range: R164.31 through R200.10
Aluminium fluted rollers are specialised fibreglass laminating tools used to consolidate reinforcement materials and remove trapped air from resin systems during composite manufacturing. They play a critical role in producing strong, lightweight and defect-free fibreglass laminates.
ROX® Aluminium Fluted Rollers are manufactured from durable extruded aluminium and are designed for use with fibreglass systems, epoxy resin systems, polyester resin systems and composite repair applications. Their fluted design allows contractors to effectively compress reinforcement materials while forcing trapped air bubbles to the surface.
Proper consolidation is essential in fibreglass fabrication because trapped air can weaken laminates, reduce structural integrity and create cosmetic defects. Using the correct fluted roller helps ensure improved resin distribution and stronger finished components.
These rollers are widely used in boat building, fibreglass repairs, composite manufacturing, tank fabrication, automotive composite production and industrial laminating applications.
