Overview

Designed and manufactured in the UK by Loynds, the Water Cooled Drop Roller-DR05 features two sets of rollers, each 150mm wide. The machine comes equipped with one set of water-cooled pre-sizing rollers and another set of water-cooled forming rollers. These rollers can be customised to your specific requirements.

The roller speed is variable and independently controlled, and the machine’s typical output is around 300kg per hour, dependent on product size. The rollers are crafted from phosphor bronze, while the remainder of the machine boasts a full stainless steel construction.

Cooling System

Chilled water is delivered to the rollers via a water chilling unit, which is also available from Loynds.

Quick Change of Dies and Cleaning

The forming roller assemblies are specifically designed for quick removal, aiding in speedy changeovers (SMED) and rapid cleaning of the die heads. Changing dies can be accomplished in under 10 minutes.

Safety Features

All moving parts are fully guarded, with a hinged acrylic lid mounted on gas struts. Magnetic guard switches are installed so that if the machine is opened during operation, it will automatically stop for safety reasons.

Simple Controls

The machine is managed through a touchscreen (HMI) which gives access to various speeds, on/off toggles, and safety functions. The Water Cooled Drop Roller can optionally be fitted with a PLC system for integration into a fully automated production line.

Additional Equipment

We also offer a cooling tunnel or conveyor system to remove the product from the machine efficiently. Breaking drums and grading machines can be provided to ensure all products meet production specifications.
