The Rollermax

The Rollermax is precisely
designed to do one thing:

Tension & retension rollerframes as quickly
and easily as possible. With the Rollermax,
you can easily create and tension a rollerframe
screen in under six minutes, and retension a
frame in under a minute.



The Rollermax System:

  • Is entirely human-powered
    —no compressor needed
      can be used anywhere
      in the shop, with no
      hoses or cords
      getting in the way


  • Quickly adjusts to fit the most
    popular rollerframe formats,
    with custom units available
    for stretching frames larger
    than 48 inches
      this saves a LOT of time
      and headaches on
      the big stuff

  • Can be used to stretch
    mesh for static wood
    and aluminum frames
      by using an oversized rollerframe
      to stretch the mesh before gluing
      - a popular low-cost alternative to
      pneumatic clamping systems -
      and it won't draw electric power
      away from the other machinery

  • Consecutively reproduces
    uniform screen tensions
      without causing insanity

  • Completely eliminates frame warp
    by securely clamping down all
    four corners of the frame at once,
    while simultaneously applying
    precisely even torque to
    both ends of the roller
      an obvious design consideration...
      the frame won't warp
      if the forces acting on it
      are symmetrical and controlled

  • Allows maximum screen tensions
      tighter off-contact,
      higher resolution,
      better results,
      maximum production

  • Helps prevent mesh ripping
    right at the source
      that's right, you can keep using
      your mesh instead of having to
      throw it away

  • Won't fall apart
      the precision-designed,
      hand-welded steel superstructure
      is far stronger than the necessary
      applied forces, guaranteed


       
  • Pays for itself
      by saving time, materials,
      and aggravation
He's right, you know.
Dan Lopez,
owner of
KC Screenprinting
in Albuquerque, New Mexico,
has this to say about his experience
with the Rollermax:
"We have a print shop with an M&R 8-color Gauntlet,
a 12-color Challenger II and four 6-color manuals.
Last year we started printing large-volume orders on
high-tension mesh and began experiencing numerous
screen stretching problems. Our previously quiet and
serene screen department became a war zone with all
the employees blaming someone else for our screen stretching woes.
In 1996 we gambled, purchasing a Rollermax machine at the
SGIA show in Dallas, and have been living happily ever after.
The machine saved us valuable employee time, greatly improved
tension consistency, reduced the incidents of "popping screens,"
and allowed, when needed, tensions measuring over 80 Newtons.
The savings in labor costs alone paid for the machine in no time at all.
Comet Industries' personnel are accessible and responsive to any
technical assistance we need. I recommend owners of any sized
print shop to seriously consider Rollermax for your production
departments. My wallet and I are glad we did."

"We LOVE our Rollermax unit and wouldn't be without it.
I truly think it is one of the best investments we have made
to date in terms of maximizing production."
