Achenbach Builds Heavy Metal Rolling Mills as:
- 2-stand tandem cold strip rolling mills for larger tonnages
- Reversing cold strip rolling mills for conventional tonnages
- Reversing thin strip rolling mills as 4-high, 6-high, resp. Z-high design subject to the required production pallet and strip final thickness
The layout of each Achenbach heavy metal rolling mill follows an integral approach, whereby mechanics, automation and drive technology perfectly interact. Considering the desired production flexibility, Achenbach heavy metal rolling mills thus ensure the permanent and highly efficient top quality production of heavy metal mill products.
