Original Hi Roller

The Original Hi Roller was developed to form better slabs, with amazing speed, and noticably less user effort. The innovative forming process in combination with the vertical orientation makes the slabs better. The engineering makes it a joy to use. So you're working on your next masterpiece and you need to roll a slab. Or, you're in production and will likely form slabs all day and half of tomorrow. No matter, here's how brilliantly the Original Hi Roller helps you get it done... Obvious and not so obvious The vertically oriented design clearly saves space but also offers other innovations which are not as readily apparent, nonetheless remarkable. Clutter-free and always ready for use What a difference it makes to never have to clean off your slab roller for use. Note also that the canvas is integrated into the design, perfectly aligned and ready when you are. Ready, set, roll So just offer a block of feed clay to the roller as the drive handle is rotated. The canvas and clay is pulled smoothly downward through the rollers forming your slab in a single pass. Reversing the rotation of the drive handle returns the canvas to the start position to reveal your slab which is gently adhered to the canvas, ready for harvest. Better slabs Clay is heavy and lacks strength in its moist form. It will tend to bunch up when being pushed across a horizontal surface. This pushing and bunching can set up unwanted patterns in the moist clay which contributes to the warping during drying and firing. The innovative design of the Original Hi Roller alleviates these issues by pulling the canvas down (vertically) through free-wheeling (idler) rollers instead of trying to push horizontally by gear-driven rollers. So no pushing, no bunching - just perfectly even pressures on each side of your slab. The flattest slabs To end up with a perfectly flat slab on your work table just roll an auxiliary canvas down along with the clay. Your slab is gently adhered to the transport canvas which can now be carried away untouched and totally flat.
