A reusable multi-strip laminate paint roller and method for manufacturing th e same. The method comprising steps of advancing a first strip of polypropylen e material about a mandrel (21); advancing a second strip of polypropylene abo ut a mandrel in offset relation to the first strip (22); advancing a cover abou t the second strip of polypropylene (23); providing a first adhesive layer (preferably a liquefied polypropylene) between the first and second strips o f polypropylene (6); providing a second adhesive layer between the second stri p of polypropylene and the cover (6); and applying a compressing force upon th e cover urging the cover toward the second strip and simultaneously urging the second strip toward the first strip (2, 23) thereby creating the continuous laminated paint roller. After forming of the continuous paint roller it is moved towards a cutter by a helical drive belt system (2). The continuously formed roller is then prefeably cut into lengths for movement to a finishing station, and then cut into finished sizepaint rollers. |
