Lewis 5" x 8" 2-High Rolling Mill

Descripción

This Lewis 5" x 8" 2-high rolling mill is a compact, heavy-duty unit designed for precision strip reduction across a wide range of metals and alloys. Featuring 5" diameter rolls with an 8" face width, this mill is well suited for laboratory, pilot-scale, and light production rolling applications where consistency, control, and repeatability are critical.
2-high rolling mills of this size are commonly used for:

Strip thickness reduction and gauge control
Precious metals processing (gold, silver, copper alloys)
R&D and materials development
Small-scale production and specialty applications

The mill is currently equipped with a 7.5/10 HP DC main drive motor. It can be operated with a DC drive system or alternatively converted to an AC motor and VFD, depending on your facility standards and control preferences. No electrical controls are currently installed, giving buyers the flexibility to integrate their preferred drive and control solution. Roll gap is adjusted via dual handwheels, allowing for simultaneous or independent adjustment on the operator and drive sides for precise gauge and profile control. Entry and exit mill tables will be installed prior to shipment.
Machines in this class are widely recognized for their durability, simplicity, and versatility — making them an ideal foundation for refurbishment, upgrade, or direct integration into an existing rolling line.
