2. A manufacturing method of a heat insulation roller, comprising:
fixing almost uniformly a plurality of hollow pipes in a gap between a core roller and an outer peripheral roller coaxial with the core roller;
removing ends of the outer peripheral roller and the hollow pipes except the core roller; and
secondarily working the core roller,
wherein the core roller, the outer peripheral roller, and the hollow pipes are structured so as to have thermal conductivity of 90 W/m-K or less.
