Abstract

A heat control system for an adaptive consolidation roller (8) for the production of consolidated layers (2) made of fiber reinforced polymers comprising the adaptive consolidation roller (8) for applying, on an application surface (3), a band (4) formed of at least one resin pre-impregnated flat tape (5), and a heating system (6, 7) adapted to emit heat radiation directed towards the band (4). Said adaptive consolidation roller (8) is rotatable on a spindle (9) and comprises a surface made of an elastic deformable, flexible material. At least one additional roller (10) with thermal control means is provided and said at least one additional roller (10) is pressed from radial outside against the surface of the adaptive consolidation roller (8).
