Details:
This is a ring roller made by Sinton. No idea how old but motor is in hp so probably 60's.
What is a ring roller? It is designed to roll strip and angle into a circular ring, like the sheet metal rollers but much stronger.
I bought it to roll wheel rims for traction engines, after discovering the price of buying cast aluminium ones.
Never used, have powered it up and moves smoothly in forward and reverse, but one contactor buzzes but so tight for space can't get to it.
The motor is 3ph 3hp so plenty of grunt. Not used it so not tried to roll anything but would guess that 2"x3/8" wouldn't fuss it. As can be seen the rolls have a groove in them for rolling angle. Roll diameter 8" so the minimum inner ring is probably 10-12".
Machine must weigh about 1/2tonne, I shifted it into the garage using a 1tonne forklift, getting out without the forklift might be interesting, so assume you will need a crane or tail llft van and a pallet truck.
A not too common machine, this has been the only one I have seen in 30 years of auction attending.
From the photos you can see that it is a standard triangular shape rollers, lower ones fixed, top one can rise and fall to increase the pressure to form the ring.
