72711 Industrial Belt Grinder and Polishing Machine

Single-sided industrial belt grinding and polishing machine for metal finishing

 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. 

Why the IMM 72711 stands out in industrial belt grinding

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:


  • Single-sided industrial machine design
  • Robust construction for long-term production use
  • Low vibration levels for improved operator comfort
  • Large contact wheel and polishing wheel options
  • Configuration for sitting or standing operation
  • Optional frequency converter for variable speed control
  • Optional electric height adjustment


This makes the 72711 a reliable solution for applications where consistent surface quality, ergonomic working conditions and long service life are required.

Typical applications of the 72711 belt grinding machine

The 72711 is used for a wide range of industrial metal finishing applications, including:


  • Stainless steel surface finishing and satin finishing
  • Deburring and edge breaking of metal components
  • Polishing and buffing of fittings, cast parts and machined parts
  • Surgical instruments and precision metal components
  • General metal fabrication and workshop production
  • Scotch-type wheel finishing and brushed surface finishes
  • Contact wheel grinding of larger parts


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.

72711 machine versions and configuration options

The IMM 72711 can be configured to match different production requirements:


  • Belt grinding machine configuration
  • Polishing or buffing machine configuration
  • Sitting or standing operation
  • Optional electric height adjustment
  • Optional frequency converter for variable speed control
  • Contact wheels up to 450 mm (17.7")
  • Polishing wheels up to 500 mm (19.7")
  • Abrasive belt width up to 100 mm (4")
  • Special protective covers and dust extraction connections


This flexibility allows the machine to be adapted to different materials, workpiece geometries and surface finishing requirements.

How the 72711 differs from other IMM manual belt grinding machines

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.
