Aluminium Rolling Mills
The great experience in building rolling mills as well as the continuous development of hot rolling mill components such as hydraulic roll setting systems, hot edge trimming shears and edger mills, and last but not least the adaptive pass schedule development speak for Achenbach hot strip rolling mills.
Typical performance figures of Achenbach hot strip rolling mills:
- Rolled thickness range from 600 mm down to 2.5 mm
- Strip width range up to 3000 mm
- Rolling speeds up to 4 m/sec
- Slab weights up to 20 t
Achenbach Builds Hot Strip Rolling Mills as:
- 1-stand reversing hot rolling mills for conventional tonnages in 2-high, resp. 4-high design
- Hot rolling lines with 1-stand reversing roughing mills and 1-stand reversing finishing mills for larger tonnages in 2-high, resp. 4-high design
- Hot rolling lines with 1-stand reversing roughing mills and multiple-stand tandem finishing mills for large tonnages in 4-high design
The layout of each Achenbach hot strip rolling mill follows an integral approach, whereby mechanics, automation and drive technology perfectly interact. Considering the desired production flexibility, Achenbach hot strip rolling mills thus ensure the permanent and highly efficient top quality production of hot strips.
