DRM 130 Doppelseitig Walzwerk

Unfortunately it is not possible to add side extensions to a Durston Powered Rolling Mill if your model currently does not have them.

All of our new Power Walzwerke are fitted with side extensions. Please see the product description and specs for more details.

It is possible to use two half round extensions if your rolling mills supports extension rollers but you will need to re-order the 2 extension rolls together and inform us that they are to match, this way we can machine them as a matching pair.

Please note: You will not get perfect round with this solution. It will be oval shaped. 

Yes you can, as standard, our power rolling mills are fitted with side extensions (see product description for details) but if you need additional sizes they can be purchased separately. 

Take a look at our Spare Parts Pages to see the size options available. 

The TUI Powered Rolling Mill Range creates the same quality and output you expect from Durston Tools but at a lower cost. Where it matters the same components are used from the Core DRM range, such as the actual mills, rolls, and casting gears.

The cost savings are made by replacing the cast iron plate and main guard with steel and by having one central emergency stop button.

For the Rolls, the best oil to use is ‘3-in-1’’ oil to protect your rolls, apply layer with a cloth after use or regularly if not in use for long periods of time.

For the gears, we use lithium soap thickened grease when we are making the mills, but any standard gear grease can be used.

Sometimes the rollers do develop marks, but it will not affect the use of your mill at all and it will still work perfectly.

Generally, the minimum – maximum thickness is 0.1mm – 6mm

How thin can your mills roll material?
As a rough guide divide the diameter of the roll by 750.
For example, on Agile 110 the diameter is 50mm so 50 divided by 750 is 0.66mm
In fact, you can divide it by between 500 to 1000.
It depends on the width of material and the hardness but dividing by 500 to 1000 gives a good idea.
So basically, you can roll down to between 0.50 and 0.1mm depending on hardness.
If it is 30mm wide, then it might go to 0.1mm
If material is 10mm wide and soft it will roll down to .05mm

The dial is just a guide and does not provide exact measurements.

The best way to minimise is, do not roll with rolls closed. Have them open approximately 0.3mm and turn the wire 90 degrees on each pass.

When the rolling mill is not in use, apply a thin coating of rust preventative liquid. Using a clean and dry paint brush (approximately 12mm wide) apply the rust preventative across the rolls. Turn the rolls as you do this. Make sure the rolls are nearly closed. This will spread the liquid evenly over the surface. It is very important that your rolls are always protected, especially in moist/wet/hot conditions or where temperatures are changing. Once your rolls are marked/rusty/corroded they will be like this until you have them removed and reground. (However, please note that it is almost impossible that you will end up with perfect rolls. Over time and use they will get slightly marked but will still work perfectly well). When using your mill again remove all rust preventative and ensure your rolls are clean and dry before you start to roll material.
It is also recommended that you cover your mill when not in use. This is to prevent the rust preventative from collecting dust and dirt.
Keep the rolls clean. Do not touch the rolls. Oils and acids from your body can damage the rolls, leaving behind small marks and eventually
rust.
Make sure all material is dry before rolling.
