AGL 6400 Nip roller replacement
- Thread starter bofferdahl

No experience with that repair, but I have considered that it would be easy to make an A frame out of 2x4s and mount a couple of pulleys to lift the old/new rollers and then just roll the machine in/out of position. Thinking in terms of doing it as a 1- man operation. Assuming you can lift the roller out veritically with minimal lateral gymnastics. A forklift would make it even easier.

I came across your post searching for information on replacing or resurfacing the rollers on an AGL I recently bought used. Would you mind sharing what you ended up doing? Did you remove them yourself and send them in to AGL? Or did you have a local machine shop resurface them?

This one didn't end so well.

Take great care when you pull the roller out and take lots of pictures/video of the process. I bought a used AGL laminator after it had the rollers refurbished and it's got some slop in the top roller now which will skew long mounting runs. We've done everything we could to remediate that, but I believe it was reassembled poorly and it's missing some shims that would allow us 100% straight alignment. Honestly the folks at AGL are very helpful and may have a PDF they can send with some instruction on removing the roller yourself.
