ENERGY SAVING UNIHEAT CURVED HOT EDGE SYSTEM SUCCESSFULLY IN OPERATION

The Achenbach UniHeat® Curved Hot Edge System is being used successfully in a new Achenbach OPTIMILL® Foil Rolling Mill at our customer AL INVEST Břidličná a.s. in the Czech Republic. By using this innovative technology for optimum strip flatness at the edges, the heat is inductively generated directly in the roll, which is much faster and requires significantly less energy compared to a conventional hot edge system using hot oil. In fact, deploying the inductive heating system in the new foil rolling mill…..

As the system is also suitable for retrofitting in existing rolling mill – considering high and uncertain prices for electrical energy – an exchange of a conventional hot edge system by a UniHeat Curved Hot Edge System guarantees a fast return of investment and moreover minimizes the CO2 footprint of the production.
