For all Applications
Diverse Roll Shop Equipment
- Loader for loading and unloading grinders and texturing machines.
- Dechocker for work and intermediate rolls for efficient chock removal.
- Back-up roll dechockers with a stationary middle rack. Depending on the requirements and the roll bearing it is equipped with a rotary drive.
- Combination chock changing devices include several platforms that are perfectly adapted to individual roll types. Both back-up rolls and work rolls can be accommodated.
- Chock tilters for inspection, mounting and dismounting of chocks in a safe and user-friendly position.

Efficient Roll Shop Control
Fully Automatic Control System
The Roll Shop Management System (MRS) by HCC/KPM integrates all roll shop components into a complete information network – from grinding machines to chocks, bearings and grinding wheels. Based on the data collected, the MRS automatically creates an overview of all registered components and their production cycles. On the fully equipped main computer various graphics, data and statistics are displayed. You can keep track of stocks or fixed dates. This way, you obtain various information and structured data for informed decision-making and planning.
Optionally, the MRS is supplemented by the "Roll Shop Automation" function. This version manages the entire roll shop automatically – the loader automatically loads and unloads the machines and operation processes are automatically started. On this highest level, MRS guarantees the most efficient functioning of your roll shop.
