Finned Roller – Straight
The straight finned roller is used for even rolling and de-airing of laminate layups in composite manufactu- ring. Its straight form is particularly suited to large, flat surfaces.
The roller simply plugs onto the frame – it is not screwed on. If worn, only the roller itself needs to be replaced; the frame remains in use.
- Pure plug system instead of screwing – only the roller is replaced when worn
- Rollers made of POM – robust, wear-resistant and chemical-resistant
- Straight form – ideal for large, flat surfaces
- Frame can also be used with conventional paint rollers

Advantages
- Pure plug system – the roller is plugged on, not screwed
- l Straight form ideal for large, flat laminate surfaces
- Refill packs with replacement rollers available
Plug System Instead of Screwing
As with the Finned Roller – Barrel, the roller is simply pushed onto the handle rather than screwed into place. When it wears out, only the roller needs to be replaced. Compatible replacement rollers are available in refill bags, saving costs and reducing plastic waste.
Replacing the roller
- Hold the roller firmly with your fingers or the palm of your hand.
- Pull the roller off the handle.
- Slide the new replacement roller onto the handle until it is fully seated.
Application
The straight finned roller is used when laminating GRP and CRP components, to roll out air bubbles and excess resin
from the laminate layup.
Materials
The roller is made of robust, wear-resistant POM. The frame is galvanized and fitted with a PP handle.
Which Roller Size Fits?
The right roller and frame length depends on the size of the laminate surface being worked on. See the table for the
available versions.
