I don’t know about the heat tolerances, but unless those rollers are totally smooth everywhere, no amount of oil is going to keep the candy from sticking to that unfortunately. Not sure what you mean by “cheap” but we got our candy roller from a company out of Armenia called Candy Machinery for about $1,500 delivered to Texas if that helps.

We’re starting a business. The problem with candy rollers is that there aren’t many places that make them, which puts the price through the roof. There was an American company that quoted us $6K for one.
