Compression Roller

Compression Roller

The Compression Roller reduces the finishing time and improves the strength of plastic welds by smoothing and compressing the joint between plastic filler rod and the base material. The Compression Roller can also be used to improve the appearance of back-side welds and increase the speed with which stainless steel reinforcing mesh can be embedded into a repair.

Why Choose the Compression Roller?

• Consistent Weld Strength: Helps apply uniform pressure across the weld
• Efficient Mesh Embedding: Great for pressing reinforcing mesh into hot plastic during welds using a hot air or nitrogen welder
• Polished Stainless Steel Roller: Smooth surface compresses and finishes welds cleanly while acting as a heat sink to quickly cool the weld
• Sealed Cartridge Bearings: Provide effortless, consistent rolling for precise control
• Ergonomic Handle: Offers a comfortable grip for better control during extended use
• High-Strength Plated Steel Frame with Extended Tang: Built for durability and leverage, ensuring consistent pressure across the weld
• High-Quality, Exclusive Design: Made exclusively for Polyvance and designed in the USA for quality and performance you can trust

How to Use

Embedding Mesh:

1. Heat mesh with welder. Once the substrate glosses over, roll mesh into the substrate.
2. Cool completely before completing the front-side repair.

Smoothing and Compressing Welds:

1. Weld.
2. Reheat the weld until the filler rod is completely melted.
3. Firmly roll the reheated weld in one steady pass. On long welds, repeat this process in overlapping sections.
4. Cool completely before sanding. Repeat the process on the backside for maximum strength and flatness.
