Roll Maintenance
Factors to consider which affect roll sharpness:
- Rolls should be fed uniformly to maximize machine efficiency.
- Rolls being out of parallel will increase roll wear. Your facility should have a program in place to regularly zero and parallel your rolls, to ensure they are in parallel. If you use your machine daily, parallel the rolls weekly.
Note:
Roll sharpening MUST be performed by RMS Roller-Grinder or warranty will be void.
RMS utilizes specialized rolls and processing techniques that are specific to a roller mill in this application.
Roll Removal
Qualified personnel must ensure that they are lifting the rolls using the proper equipment and lifting procedure.
It is recommended to lift the roll using a lifting strap that has a rated capacity that is higher than the overall weight of the roll.
The image below shows the recommended procedure for lifting a roll.
A table showing the roll weights is shown below.
