1 Precision LEVELING SOLUTIONSLEVELERS2A Legacy of PrecisionLeveling TechnologyA Legacy of PrecisionLeveling TechnologyB&K has built a legacy of superior leveling solutions for morethan a quarter-century. Virtually hundreds of production-proven installations are evidence of our successful the years, drive and Leveler control technology haveevolved, but B&K levelers are still built to last. Today, under theleadership of Formtek -Maine, the B&K brand continues to besynonymous with heavy-duty steel mill equipment. Formtek -Maine Leads B&K into the 21st CenturyFormtek-Maine has totally redesigned and re-engineered thealready outstanding B&K line with the latest technology inelectrics, electronics and mechanical design.

2 New, intuitive,touch screen controls dramatically simplify set-up andadjustments. We ve equipped B&K Precision roller levelers withrelatively small, closely spaced Leveler rolls that incorporate back-ups to prevent deflection. No design or performance feature hasbeen ignored. The result is a line of B&K Levelers that are evenmore productive, reliable and easy to operate than ever before. B&K diameter, heavy gauge Precision Leveler is designed to live off .312 thick stockB&K Precision Better Than EverB&K Precision Levelers offer greater valueand performance by including standardfeatures that are cost-added options onmany competitive models. Standardfeatures include: High rise head Loop control Main drive motor Inspection cascade assemblies Oil drain system Built to meet customers passline heightrequirementThis B&K, highly productive, heavy-duty precisionleveler has provided decades of reliable production for thousands of heavy-gauge leveled blanksIt s no wonder that more job shops, servicecenters and manufacturers are specifyingB&K levelers for the toughest applicationsincluding sheet leveling, parts leveling, cut-to-length lines, and other process lines.
