RINOROLL is the machine that completes the maintenance of a clay tennis court after milling the clay with the Venus machine.
In fact the function of Venus is to regenerate the old clay in tennis courts, decompact it to replace it. To shorten lost of playing time for the surface to become ready as quick as possible, it is useful to have an automatic motorized compactor roller such as Rinoroll machine made by Paoloni in Italy which allows you to press the clay in just a few minutes and restart playing: almost immediately available for the tennis players.

Rinoroll is small in size and can also be used in indoor tennis courts thanks to its compact width, but concentrates the weight on a smaller surface compared to the large traditional rollers that are very difficult to move for an operator. Rinoroll enters the access corridors of indoor tennis courts, and thanks to its design and its power it acts perfectly as a roller as the weight of almost 250 kilos works on a surface of 0.4 square meters and its compaction capacity is equivalent to 600 kg per square meter. This makes Rinoroll easy to move from one court to another and easy to handle when changing direction.

We have also equipped the machine with a convenient OPTIONAL (under request) tool that acts as a trolley for movement visible in the following photos and in the video

By studying the evolution of this machine from the first prototypes of 2010, we have created a different system from the single compactor roller, dividing the clay compaction function on 4 small diameter rollers, each equipped with a scraper blade that does not remove earth from the court during passage of the machine. Each roller generates pressure on the surface and determines a level of compaction that adds up to the next, so that each roller performs a different effect for a final perfect result.

The front brush is a resistant nylon device which spreads the bigger pieces of clay while the forward roller smoothes and compacts the surface.

It is always recommended to make the clay wet before milling it, and after grinding the hard surface remember to spread it by hand with a straight edge or a rake before using Rinoroll (especially in summer with dry clay we suggest to flow a “rain” of water over all the clay court to prepare it at the best before starting maintenance.That'sd not necessary in indoor courts as it normally already contains an adequate amount of residual humidity)

Once the Rinoroll engine is started, adjust the accelerator device for the desired advancing speed and the roller will proceeds by itself at the setted speed. When you get close to the end of courts, we recommend that you decrease the advancing speed with the accelerator lever. To rotate the machine on itself and come back just press with your weight on the directional handle that acts as a rudder, tilt the machine backwards which will leverage the rear wheels, lifting the motorized rollers. The balanced weight in the center will allow you to pivot and rotate 180° to go back and compact the part of court parallel to the one just worked. Rinoroll also acts on the white lines by bringing them back into position and planning the fixing nails out of place. At the end of the maintenance process remember to resurface by hand with a straight the signs of curves created by Rinoroll at the limits of the courts where the machine was turning 180° to go back.
