The IMM 72711 is a single-sided industrial belt grinding or polishing machine designed for demanding manual surface finishing applications.
It is used for belt grinding, deburring, polishing, buffing and satin finishing of metal components in production environments. The machine can be configured for sitting or standing operation and equipped with belt grinding guards, polishing wheel guards or customer-specific tooling.
With motor ratings from 2.2 to 7.5 kW (approx. 3.0 to 10.0 hp), the 72711 is suitable for applications requiring higher power, larger contact wheels and robust industrial performance.
Standard abrasive belts up to 100 x 3,500 mm or 100 x 4,000 mm (approx. 4" x 138" or 4" x 157") can be used. The maximum contact wheel diameter is 450 mm (17.7"), while polishing wheels up to 500 mm (19.7") are possible.

Single-sided IMM 72711 industrial belt grinding or polishing machine for manual surface finishing.
The IMM 72711 is engineered for continuous industrial operation and offers a rigid, low-vibration machine design for precise manual finishing work.
Compared to smaller workshop belt grinders, the 72711 provides:
This makes the 72711 a reliable solution for applications where consistent surface quality, ergonomic working conditions and long service life are required.
The 72711 is used for a wide range of industrial metal finishing applications, including:
The machine can be adapted to the required process by selecting the appropriate belt grinding attachment, contact wheel, polishing wheel, protective guard and speed configuration.
The IMM 72711 can be configured to match different production requirements:
This flexibility allows the machine to be adapted to different materials, workpiece geometries and surface finishing requirements.
The IMM 72711 is a single-sided industrial belt grinding or polishing machine. It is ideal when one dedicated grinding or polishing station is required with a robust machine base, larger tools and ergonomic working position.
For compact double-sided workbench applications, the IMM 7725 is often the preferred choice. For double-sided industrial production with two working stations, the 72730 or 72780 may be more suitable.
This makes the 72711 a good solution for customers who require a powerful single-station belt grinder or polishing machine for continuous industrial use.

The IMM 72711 is a single-sided industrial belt grinding or polishing machine used for manual metal finishing, deburring, polishing, buffing and satin finishing. Typical applications include stainless steel parts, castings, fittings, surgical instruments, precision components and general metal parts.
The 72711 can be configured either as a belt grinding machine or as a polishing / buffing machine. Depending on the selected equipment, it can be fitted with belt grinding guards, contact wheels, polishing wheel guards, buffing wheels or Scotch-type finishing tools.
The IMM 7725 is a compact double-sided machine, often used as a workbench or small stand-mounted belt grinding and polishing machine. The 72711 is a larger single-sided industrial machine with higher motor power, larger contact wheels, larger polishing wheels and more ergonomic configuration options for sitting or standing operation.
The 72711 is a single-sided machine with one working station. The 72730 and 72780 are double-sided machines with two working sides. The 72711 is ideal when one dedicated grinding or polishing station is required, while the 72730 and 72780 are often used when two working stations are needed in one machine.
Yes. The 72711 can be configured for sitting or standing operation with a higher or lower machine base. This allows the machine to be adapted to the operator, the workpiece size and the required finishing process. Electric height adjustment is available as an option.
Yes. The 72711 can be equipped with a frequency converter for variable speed control. This allows the operator to adjust the belt speed or polishing wheel speed to different materials, tools and surface finishing requirements.
The 72711 can use abrasive belts up to 100 x 3,500 mm or 100 x 4,000 mm, approximately 4" x 138" or 4" x 157". This makes the machine suitable for larger contact wheel grinding and industrial finishing applications.
The 72711 can be equipped with contact wheels up to 450 mm (17.7") in diameter and polishing wheels up to 500 mm (19.7") in diameter. This gives the machine flexibility for grinding, polishing and buffing applications.
Yes. The IMM 72711 is designed for continuous industrial use and robust production environments. Its rigid, low-vibration machine design supports consistent surface quality, operator comfort and long service life.
Yes. The 72711 can be adapted with different belt grinding attachments, polishing wheel guards, contact wheels, speed configurations, dust extraction connections and optional electric height adjustment. This allows the machine to be configured for specific materials, workpiece geometries and surface finishing processes.
