ROLLING MILL MACHINE
A rolling mill machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed for reducing the thickness of various materials with precise tolerances through a set of rollers. Rolling mill machinery is essential in metal processing and comes in many designs, from stand-alone metal rolling machines used for processing steel plate rolling or ingots to integrated systems within full processing lines for coil-to-coil production.
To ensure that the finished material meets the required dimensional tolerances, rolling mill machines incorporate highly accurate positioning feedback systems. Industry standards that define these tolerances include ASTM, ANSI (American National Standards Institute), AISI(American Iron and Steel Institute), EN (European Standards) , JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards Committee), or API (American Petroleum Institute).
ROLLING MILL MACHINERY EXPERIENCE
Rolling mill machinery is available in multiple configurations, selected based on material type, thickness, and yield strength. Element has extensive experience designing and manufacturing metal rolling machines, supplying customized rolling mill machines for diverse applications, including steel rolling and steel plate rolling for various industries.

WHAT WE OFFER
Our rolling mill machinery is designed for precision steel rolling, steel plate rolling, and metal processing applications. Whether you need a rolling mill machine for standalone operation or a full-scale metal rolling machine integrated into a production line, we deliver high-performance solutions tailored to your needs.
2 High Rolling Mill
Rolling mills consisting of two rolls are known as a 2 High Rolling Mills and are used for anything from temper pass to breakdown of the material.
3 High Rolling Mill
A 3 High Rolling Mill consists of three rolls and is typically used for either performing multiple reduction passes by wrapping material around the center mill roll, or for bonding of dissimilar stacked material passed through the mill. Three High Rolling Mills can also be used for flattening of expanded metal sheets.
4 High Rolling Mill
A four roll configuration is known as a 4 High Rolling Mill, whereby the work rolls are generally smaller in diameter supported by larger backup rollers. These mill can be used for tighter tolerance output material, and for reducing material to extremely small thicknesses.
Compacting Rolling Mill
Compacting rolling mills are used for converting powder or powder like material into continuous strip.
Cladding Rolling Mill
Cladding rolling mills are used to combine two dissimilar materials into a single strip through compression.
Casting Rolling Mill
Casting rolling mills are used for continuous roll casting of strip. Casting rolling mills are typically 2 or 4 high hot mills capable of providing consistent thickness strip from hot cast incoming material.
Embossing Rolling Mill
Specialized rolling mills that emboss a pattern or indent into metal strip are known as embossing mills. These patterns can be used for decoration, to help with structural qualities of tubing or simply to increase material length without significantly decreasing the material thickness for cost savings.
Lithium Metal Processing
We supply a broad range of machinery and services to help in your lithium metal processing application.
