Mystery make Slip Rolls

[sparky mikeParticipant @sparkymike]

Hi, Just purchased this slip roll tool and would like to know the make.

There was a name on the front, but mostly gone now.

It is pretty heavy and has cast iron base unlike most modern rolls about same size ( 600mm.) (2ft.rolling capacity.

I just noticed a small, half missing, label on the end of the base and the word TEX and Holland is just readable.

Name on the front could be GORVER or GERVER or GARVER or even GURVER if that is a clue?

With the help from a friend in Holland, I now know that it was made by Gerver Imetex in the early 1970's

but they do not have any information on it unfortunately.

My only hope is to get a message posted on Dutch engineering forums for more info.

I need to know the mechanical action for the rear roller. This can be raised around 20mm at each end with a screw in handle , but there does not seem to be any way of keeping it in that position once the handle is released.

The purpose of this must be to do with rolling cone shaped items.

Mike.

Dear Mike.

Did you manage to find any more information for this machine?
I've been asked to produce a Health and Safety notice for one in a workshop at my place, but it's outside of my expertise

The forum isn't allowing me to post a photo

Thanks,
Gary.

So if it's outside your area of expertise why are you writing H&S docs? Find someone who is familiar with this type of machinery.

[Gary QuinnParticipant @garyquinn55030]

Hi Duncan.

We have people who are familiar with using the machine, and others who are familiar with H&S, so it's not a problem in that sense.

I'm looking for specifications and a manual which might guide my part of the documentation.

Sorry my original post wasn't too clear.

Gary.
