Key Features & Capabilities

Precision Roll Geometry: 8″ (203 mm) diameter rolls with a 10″ (254 mm) effective working width provide an ideal balance of material contact and force distribution for laboratory-scale samples and pilot trials.

Advanced Roll Adjustment: Dual electro-mechanical screwdowns with VFD control and encoder feedback allow fine, repeatable roll gap adjustment—critical for experimental rolling schedules and metallurgical studies.

Power & Performance: Driven by a 40 HP inverter-duty AC gearmotor and designed for separating forces up to approximately 250,000 lbs, the IRM 8010 is capable of processing a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys.

Modern Drive & Controls: Variable-speed AC inverter control enables smooth, controlled rolling speeds suitable for research, process optimization, and material characterization work.

Safety & Laboratory Usability: Integrated safety guarding at nip points and entry/exit areas supports safe operation in laboratory and university environments while maintaining clear material flow.
