Rolling mills for sheet and wire

A rolling mill enables you to change the shape of your precious metal. For instance, when you roll a sheet, it becomes thinner and longer - the same applies when rolling wire. With a rolling mill you can thus modify the dimensions of your material and get closer to the final dimension in a way that is both faster and easier compared to forging, sawing, and filing your way to the desired size. A major advantage of rolling is not only saving time and effort but also achieving significant material savings.

Which rolling mill should I choose?

Achieving neat and uniform rolling of wire or sheet requires a sturdy rolling mill, and there are various types available. The choice of rolling mill depends on your needs. The most versatile rolling mill is the comb rolling mill, where you can roll both sheet and wire. In our range, there are also special rolling mills that, besides sheet and wire, have integrated profiles in the rollers, particularly suitable for, for example, producing wedding rings.

Furthermore, the rolling mills come in different sizes, crucial for the size of items you can roll. Therefore, the size of the rolling mills is also something to consider when choosing the rolling mill you need. In our range, you can find rolling mills with rollers ranging from 100 mm up to 158 mm in width. The combi rolling mill with 130 mm wide rollers is a versatile rolling mill with a good size, covering the needs of many workshops. The larger rolling mill models with separate wire and sheet rollers are robust rolling mills suitable for workshops with larger jewellery productions.

All our manual rolling mills have built-in reduction gears, providing smoother and easier rolling.

Maintenance of your manual rolling mill

All hand-operated rolling mills in our range are cast in one piece, making them incredibly robust. All bearings are self-lubricating and thus almost maintenance-free, ensuring the highest quality of robust and user-friendly rolling mills.

Although the rolling mills are virtually maintenance-free, you still need to take good care of them. Therefore, we recommend the following:

1. Do not use cleaning agents on your rolling mill.
2. Wipe the rolling mill rolls clean with a soft cloth before use.
3. Lubricate the rollers if they will not be used for an extended period or if the rolling mill is located in a place with high humidity.
4. Additionally, the gears on the side of the rolling mill should be lubricated once a year with gear grease.

By taking care of and maintaining your rolling mill, you are guaranteed a machine for life.

Power rolling mills for larger jewellery production

In our range, you will also find motorised power rolling mills for the professional goldsmith workshop, where there is a need for high capacity. These may involve strong wires, sheets, or thick plates for larger jewellery productions, where smooth and uniform rolling of precious metals is crucial for a professional result.

The power rolling mills come in compact combi models and large double rolling mills with a width of up to 130 mm. The motorised rolling mills have variable speed from 5-20 rpm. They are also quiet, have high performance, and can run forwards and backward. Additionally, the power rolling mills have a built-in emergency stop button and safety guards.

All our power rolling mills use 230V 1.1 kW power and do not require additional installation.

Mounting your rolling mills

For the best utilisation and effectiveness, your rolling mill should be mounted on a stable and solid surface. Small rolling mills can be mounted on a tabletop, thus saving space. However, larger rolling mills will require a more stable and floor-mounted stand. At Aktiv Guld, you will find a rolling mill stand that fits all manual rolling mills.

The power rolling mills are heavy machines that require solid and firm mounting. We also offer a sturdy table that fits all power rolling mills.
