Procedure
Please use a commercially available hot-air gun.
Select a GRC with an inside diameter as close as possible to the diameter of the roll. The length should be about 200 mm longer than the length of the roll.
1.Rotate the roll at constant speed.
2.The hot-air gun should face opposite to its direction of travel.
3.While rotating the roll, always shrink the tube from one side to the other.
4.Align the edges to complete the process.
Points
- Rolls should be rotated at a constant speed.
- Be sure to shrink from one side to the other. Hot air temperature is 150 to 200°C on the tube surface.
- To prevent air bubbles, the direction of hot air should be opposite the hot-air gun’s direction of travel.
