Machine Types Available | Belt, Through-Feed, Drum, Profile | |
Manufacturer | Multiple manufacturers available — contact IWM to discuss current stock and sourcing | |
Working Width | Varies by model — typically 630 mm to 1,300 mm | Confirm your widest workpiece dimension before specifying; working width defines the maximum single-pass coverage. |
Feed Speed | Varies by model — typically 2.5 to 18 m/min, variable | Variable feed speed allows the machine to be tuned for material density and abrasive grit, which directly affects finish quality and belt life. |
Belt Speed | Varies by model — contact IWM for model-specific data | |
Max Workpiece Thickness | Varies by model — typically up to 160–170 mm | |
Min Workpiece Thickness | Varies by model — typically from 3–5 mm | Minimum thickness is a critical check for veneer, thin panels, or laminated components — confirm with IWM before ordering. |
Motor Power | Varies by model — contact IWM for model-specific data | Confirm three-phase supply availability and amperage headroom before ordering. |
Dimensions (L × W × H) | Varies by model — contact IWM for model-specific footprint data | Allow additional clearance for infeed, outfeed, and extraction ducting when planning floor space. |
Weight | Varies by model — contact IWM for model-specific data | Heavier industrial models may exceed 500 kg — floor loading capacity should be checked with your building surveyor before installation. |
Dust Extraction Connection | Fitted as standard on all models — connection size varies; confirm with IWM | Adequate extraction is essential for finish quality, belt life, and compliance with UK workplace dust regulations — size your extraction system to the machine's stated extraction volume. |
Noise Level | Varies by model — contact IWM for model-specific data | Levels above 80 dB may require acoustic treatment or hearing protection under UK workplace regulations. |
CE / UKCA Marked | Yes — all machines supplied by IWM meet current UK/EU machinery safety requirements | UKCA or CE marking confirms the machine has been assessed against relevant machinery safety directives, which is a legal requirement for use in UK workplaces. |
