Infeed roller for Holzmann and Bernardo planer thicknessers

This infeed roller, item 52, is a replacement part designed for Holzmann HOB305ABSSMW2 and Bernardo PT305DS planer thicknessers.

Installed in the thicknesser feed mechanism, it plays a direct role in feeding the workpiece through the machine.

Its grooved surface provides an effective grip on the wood, helping to feed the workpiece smoothly and consistently towards the cutterblock during thicknessing operations.

What is the function of the infeed roller item 52?

The infeed roller is located on the entry side of the thicknesser. Its main function is to grip the workpiece and automatically feed it towards the cutterblock.

It therefore helps maintain a consistent feed of the workpiece during thicknessing. The condition of the roller is important to ensure efficient feeding and prevent the wood from slipping or stopping as it passes through the machine.

When should the infeed roller be replaced?

The infeed roller may need to be replaced when its grooved gripping surface is heavily worn or damaged, when the roller is deformed, or when its ends or mounting areas show signs of deterioration.

A defective or worn infeed roller may cause:

• Irregular feeding of the workpiece;
• Slipping of the wood during thicknessing;
• Difficulty feeding the workpiece into the thicknesser;
• Jerky or inconsistent feed movement;
• Reduced efficiency of the feed mechanism.

Before replacing the roller, it is also recommended to check the condition and adjustment of the other components in the feed mechanism.
