Sanidi
Before operating your BEAMNOVA Rolling Mill, proper setup is crucial for stability and safety.
- Kufungua: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. Report any damage to the supplier immediately.
- Chagua Mahali: Select a sturdy, level workbench or surface that can support the weight of the machine (approx. 19.37 kg) and withstand the forces applied during operation.
- Uwekaji salama: The base of the rolling mill has pre-drilled holes for permanent mounting. Use appropriate bolts and nuts (not included) to securely fasten the machine to your workbench. This step is critical to prevent the machine from moving or tipping during use.
- Kibali: Ensure there is sufficient clearance around the machine for the hand crank to turn freely and for you to safely feed and retrieve metal.
- Ukaguzi wa Awali: Before first use, manually turn the hand crank to ensure all gears and rollers move smoothly without obstruction. Check that the gear cover is securely in place.

Maagizo ya Uendeshaji
Follow these steps for effective and safe operation of your BEAMNOVA Rolling Mill:
1. Preparing the Metal
- Ensure your metal (gold, silver, copper, aluminum, etc.) is clean and free of burrs or sharp edges.
- For best results and to prevent damage to the rollers, anneal your metal before rolling, especially if it is thick or has been previously worked. Annealing softens the metal, making it more ductile.
2. Adjusting the Rollers
- The distance between the rollers is adjusted using the top gears. Turn the adjustment handle clockwise to decrease the gap (for thinner material) and counter-clockwise to increase it (for thicker material).
- Always make small, gradual adjustments. Do not attempt to reduce the metal thickness drastically in a single pass. This can strain the machine and the metal.
- For initial passes, set the rollers slightly wider than your metal's thickness.
3. Rolling Metal Sheets (Flat Rolling)
- Ensure the flat section of the rollers is clean.
- Feed the metal sheet evenly into the gap between the rollers.
- Slowly turn the hand crank. The oversized gear and pinion system will assist in reducing effort.
- Once the metal has passed through, adjust the rollers for a slightly smaller gap and repeat the process.
- Periodically anneal the metal between passes to prevent work hardening and cracking.
4. Creating Wires (Square and Round Grooves)
- Identify the desired groove size on the rollers (refer to Figure 3 for available sizes).
- For square wires, start with a larger square groove and gradually reduce the size in subsequent passes.
- For round wires, use the V-shaped grooves, starting with a larger V-groove and progressively moving to smaller ones to gradually reduce the wire diameter.
- Feed the metal wire into the appropriate groove.
- Turn the hand crank steadily.
- As with flat rolling, anneal the wire periodically to maintain ductility.

Matengenezo
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BEAMNOVA Rolling Mill.
- Kusafisha: After each use, clean the rollers and all exposed metal parts with a soft cloth to remove any metal dust or debris. A mild solvent can be used if necessary, but ensure it does not damage painted surfaces.
- Upakaji mafuta: Periodically lubricate the gears and roller bearings with a light machine oil or grease. This prevents rust and ensures smooth operation. A user review suggests lubricating rollers after use to prevent oxidation.
- Ukaguzi: Regularly inspect the machine for any signs of wear, loose bolts, or damage. Pay close attention to the rollers for any nicks or imperfections that could affect the quality of your work. Check the gear cover for security.
- Hifadhi: When not in use, store the rolling mill in a dry, clean environment to prevent rust and corrosion. Covering the machine can help protect it from dust.
Kutatua matatizo
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your rolling mill.
| Tatizo | Sababu inayowezekana | Suluhisho |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty turning the hand crank. | Rollers set too tight; metal is too thick or not annealed; lack of lubrication. | Loosen rollers slightly; anneal metal before rolling; apply lubricant to gears and bearings. |
| Unevenly pressed metal. | Rollers not parallel; inconsistent feeding of metal; metal not properly annealed. | Ensure rollers are adjusted evenly on both sides; feed metal steadily; anneal metal. |
| Metal cracking or breaking during rolling. | Metal is work-hardened; attempting too large a reduction in one pass. | Anneal metal more frequently; make smaller, more gradual reductions. |
| Rust or corrosion on metal parts. | Lack of lubrication; improper storage; exposure to moisture. | Clean and lubricate regularly; store in a dry environment; consider a protective cover. |
| Loose rollers or excessive play. | Wear on bearings or adjustment mechanism. | Inspect bearings and adjustment components. If wear is significant, contact BEAMNOVA support for potential replacement parts or service. |
| Paint flaking off gears/body. | Normal wear or manufacturing residue. | Clean off flakes to prevent interference. This is primarily cosmetic and does not affect function unless underlying metal rusts. Keep lubricated to prevent rust. |
