What Is a Fiberglass Roving Rack?

A fiberglass roving rack pultrusion system organizes and feeds multiple packages (called “doffs”) of fiberglass roving — the continuous glass fiber strands that provide strength to composite products. The rack keeps these rovings organized and feeds them smoothly to your pultrusion line.

Why You Need a Good Roving Rack

When making pultruded profiles, how you store and feed your fiberglass rovings matters. A well-designed rack:

• Keeps fibers from tangling or breaking
• Makes sure fibers feed smoothly into the resin bath
• Reduces downtime from fixing fiber problems
• Helps workers quickly replace empty packages
• Saves floor space in your factory

Key Features of Our Roving Rack

Strong Structure

• Built with a steel frame designed for stability in daily use
• Multiple shelves to hold many roving packages
• Can hold between 48-100 packages depending on size
• Includes wheels with locks so you can move it when needed

Smart Design

• Each roving package has its own slot to prevent tangling
• Smooth guides help fibers feed without catching
• Built-in tension control helps fibers unwind evenly
• Easy access for workers to replace empty packages

Practical Benefits

• Takes up less floor space than spreading packages out
• Fibers feed more consistently for more uniform product quality
• Workers spend less time fixing tangled or broken fibers
• Easier to keep track of how much material you are using
• Makes your workshop look more organized and professional

Common Uses

Our roving racks work well for making many types of pultruded products:

• Building materials like beams and profiles
• Electrical components
• Parts for cars and boats
• Agricultural equipment
• Industrial components

How to Use Your Roving Rack

1. Load roving packages onto the shelves
2. Thread each roving end through its guide
3. Pull rovings to the pultrusion line
4. Lock the wheels to prevent movement during operation
5. Replace empty packages as needed during production

Frequently Asked Questions

How many roving positions do I need?

This depends on the size of your pultruded product. Larger or more complex profiles need more rovings. For a basic profile, you might need 20-40 positions. For larger products, you might need 60-100.

Can I use different types of rovings on the same rack?

Yes, our racks work with standard E-glass rovings, as well as specialty fibers. Each position works independently.

How much maintenance does the rack need?

Very little. Just keep it clean, check for any worn parts occasionally, and make sure the wheels lock properly.

How long does a rack typically last?

With basic care, a quality roving rack should last many years in regular production environments.

Can I move the rack when it is loaded with rovings?

Yes, but it is best to move it carefully and slowly. Always lock the wheels during production.

Tips for Getting the Most from Your Roving Rack

• Keep the rack and surrounding area clean to prevent fiber contamination
• Make sure rovings are threaded properly through guides
• Store extra roving packages nearby for quick replacement
• Train operators on proper loading techniques
