Plate Leveling Machines

Additional Details

HIMALAYA plate leveling machines are extremely efficient, work with great accuracy and reliability and are easy to operate and maintain.

Each Leveling roll is supported by several backup rolls, depending on span, to avoid deflection. This results into very small diameter of the rolls, increased range of operation and best results.

The machines are fabricated machine-body with the roll system and the driving gears. Body housings are rigid and made from welded steel plate construction which is resistant to torsion even under peak loads in continuous service.

    ROLL SYSTEM

The roll system consists of several main rolls with backup rolls providing minimum possible deflection of the whole assembly. The auxiliary rolls, one of them arranged at the entry side and the other at the exit side in the top part of the machine body, can be vertically adjusted under load independent of each other.

    DRIVE

The main drive is effected by a reversible induction motor. The transmission to gears is through a heavy coupling. All high speed shafts including the spur gears are mounted in antifriction bearings. The upper roll system is brought into working position through reversible induction motors. Machines can also be built with hydraulic drive.

    OPERATION

The machine can easily be operated and supervised and the straightening process can be watched closely from a control desk containing all controls.

The distance between the upper edge of the lower roll and the lower edge of the upper roll is indicated on the dials mounted at the nondriving side of the machine.

The squirrel cage reversing motors similarly mounted on the drive side of the machine effect the adjustment of the two auxiliary rolls. The degree of adjustment is indicated on two dials at the feed side of the machine. The adjusting ranges of the upper roll system and of the auxiliary rolls are limited by limit switches.

    MAINTENANCE

The machine requires little maintenance. All lubrication points which are not connected to the oil circulating lubrication system of the main drive or to the oil plunge lubrication for the adjusting gears of the upper roll system are supplied by an automatic central force feed lubrication system. All machine elements requiring occasional cleaning or readjusting are easily accessible. Bearings are provided with oil seals for extended relubrication intervals.

    CAPACITY

Machines are available for plate leveling from 6 mm to 60 mm sizes in spans of 1500 mm upwards.
