Business Details
We founded RGB Engineering in 1987 after accumulating 23 years of specialized experience at Farrel Corporation's roll grinder engineering department. Our principal, Robert G. Bennett Jr., P.E., possesses intimate knowledge of all Farrel roll grinder product lines including single-wheel and two-wheel variations. We have expanded our expertise to service virtually all makes of roll grinders across steel, aluminum, and paper industries since inception. Our core focus remains engineering and field work, specifically troubleshooting complex roll grinding problems for clients worldwide. We conduct advanced vibration analysis investigations and develop actionable follow-up plans to diagnose and resolve chatter issues effectively. A significant achievement includes the development and delivery of 42 computerized crowner retrofit systems on diverse roll grinder platforms since 1987.
We provide comprehensive machine design services to modernize older roll grinders and engineer peripheral equipment such as calipers and probes. Our capabilities extend to manufacturing replacement parts, performing machine inspections, reviewing proposals, and conducting instructional seminars. We maintain a team of experienced associates including R. Triantafillso and K. Martinsen to support diverse project requirements globally. We carry liability insurance with $2,000,000 general aggregate limits, ensuring professional accountability for every engagement. Our commitment to technical excellence and client satisfaction drives every consultation, retrofit, and field service we perform.

Services
Vibration Analysis
We perform advanced vibration analysis investigations to identify root causes of roll grinding chatter across all machine brands. Our detailed follow-up action plans enable clients to implement targeted corrective measures for immediate performance improvement. This service supports steel, aluminum, and paper mills seeking to eliminate surface defects and maximize roll quality.
Crowner Retrofits
We design and supply computerized crowner retrofit conversions for all roll grinder types, having completed 42 installations since 1987. Each system modernizes legacy equipment with precise crown control technology to enhance grinding accuracy and repeatability. Clients gain upgraded capability without full machine replacement, reducing capital expenditure significantly.
Engineering Design
We provide comprehensive engineering design services to modernize outdated roll grinders and develop custom peripheral equipment like calipers and probes. Our designs address specific operational challenges in steel, aluminum, and paper production environments for improved reliability. This service includes machine upgrades, spare part manufacturing, and proposal reviews to ensure technical feasibility.
Machine Inspections
We conduct thorough machine inspections to assess roll grinder condition, geometry, and performance parameters for preventive maintenance planning. Our detailed reports identify wear patterns, alignment issues, and potential failure points before they cause unplanned downtime. Mill operators receive actionable data to schedule repairs and optimize grinding operations efficiently.
Training Seminars
We deliver customized instructional seminars covering roll grinder operation, maintenance best practices, and chatter troubleshooting techniques for client personnel. Sessions leverage our Farrel heritage and multi-brand experience to address specific mill challenges in steel and paper sectors. Participants gain practical knowledge to enhance grinding quality and extend equipment service life immediately.
