Professional squeegee roller for VHB and double-sided adhesive tapes

      AX900 manual squeegee roller for adhesive tapes

The AX900 manual adhesive tape applicator, also known as a manual squeegee roller or pressure roller, is an essential tool for the professional application of adhesive tapes, especially double-sided adhesive tapes.

The professional squeegee roller improves contact between the tape and the surface, ensuring uniform pressure across the entire tape. It prevents areas of poor adhesion and enhances the durability of the bond.

Ideal for:

• Viscoelastic acrylic foam tapes and 3M VHB tapes: These tapes require uniform pressure to activate their acrylic adhesive and guarantee maximum adhesion.

• Double-sided foam tapes: A consistent pressure helps prevent air bubbles.

• Mounting tapes for composite panels

• Adhesive tapes used in signage applications

• Textile and fabric adhesive tapes, ensuring even bonding

• Certain high-adhesion masking tapes for difficult surfaces

      Why choose a pressure roller for adhesive tapes?

Using a professional pressure roller or manual squeegee roller guarantees maximum adhesion for adhesive tapes. It helps to:

• Apply uniform pressure over the entire tape surface

• Prevent air bubbles, folds, and poorly bonded areas

• Improve the quality and durability of the assembly

• Increase precision on small and medium-sized parts

• Facilitate repetitive work, reducing operator fatigue

• Provide long-term comfort with an ergonomic handle

• Conform to irregular surfaces

• Ensure ease of use on workshop and on-site applications with a lightweight, robust tool

• Save time on manual tape application operations

      Applications of the professional squeegee roller

The AX900 manual squeegee roller is used in many industrial sectors:

🏭 Industry: Mounting composite panels, aluminum profiles, and glass

🏗️ Construction: Bonding insulation panels, baseboards, cladding

🪧 Signage and POS displays: Applying printed visuals, signs, and panels

🪟 Aluminum and PVC joinery: Assembling frames and glass using a pressure roller

      How to use the manual squeegee roller

1. Prepare the surface: Clean and dry the surface before applying the adhesive tape

2. Apply the adhesive tape without removing the liner (if applicable)

3. Use the manual squeegee roller or pressure roller over the entire tape, applying constant pressure

4. Remove the liner, then assemble the part

5. Perform a final pass with the squeegee roller to reinforce the adhesion

      FAQ about the squeegee roller for industrial tapes

✅ What is the difference between a squeegee roller and a tape dispenser?

The manual squeegee roller presses the adhesive tape after it has been applied, while the tape dispenser unrolls and cuts tape, mainly for packaging purposes.

✅ Is the squeegee roller suitable for VHB tapes?

Yes, it’s ideal for activating the adhesive on VHB tapes, which require firm pressure for optimal adhesion.

✅ What surfaces can the squeegee roller be used on?

The squeegee roller works on metal, wood, plastic, glass, and other materials, even slightly irregular surfaces.
