Siemens introduces new quick-exchange pinch-roll cassette for hot-strip mill downcoilers –
Roll-change time reduced from eight hours to just ten minutes
Siemens VAI Metals Technologies now offers hot-strip mill operators a new method for changing the pinch rolls in downcoilers. The pinch-roll unit, designed as a quick-exchange cassette, can be replaced within just ten minutes without additional interruption of production. That saves up to eight hours typically required when applying conventional solutions. This capability to quickly exchange rolls reduces maintenance time, increases yield, and makes it easier to switch from one steel grade to another. Hot-strip producers can thus respond more quickly to changing market demands. Strip can also be coiled at a consistently high quality for longer periods of time. The rolls can be cleaned and refurbished offline, thereby enhancing both strip quality and personnel safety.
