CASTING ROLLING MILL

Casting rolling mill is used for continuous roll casting of material strip. Casting rolling mill is typically 2 high hot mills capable of providing consistent thickness strip from hot cast incoming material. This process of reducing material to the desired thickness while still hot allows for the most efficient production of desired strip output due to the reduced energy to work material. The benefits of utilizing a casting rolling mill are as follows:

  • Reduced energy required to reduce hot material
  • Larger reductions from cast strip to output thickness are possible
  • Can remove the need of additional coil to coil processing

Casting ROLLING MILL EQUIPMENT OPTIONS

With any Element Rolling mills, we offer several options that are available to increase the productivity of your equipment. Some of the options that we offer to maximize the capacity of our mills include:

  • Quick roll change out options
  • Repetitive reduction schedules
  • Automatic gauge control features

Element mills offer a wide range of feed back options for roll positioning that provide tight output tolerances. Our most accurate design incorporates non contact positive roll detection that can provide output to tolerances of better than +/-0.0001″ (+/- 4um).

Rolling mill can have multiple different configurations that are used depending on material type, thickness and yield strengths. Element has built a wide variety of rolling mills to fit multiple applications.

Casting ROLLING MILL EXPERIENCE

Element has supplied casting rolling mills integrated into a full line of our materials processing and handling equipment to provide full processing of cast strip to coil. These lines typically consist of the casting mill, a temper pass mill, flying shear and coiling equipment for take-up of the finished product.

WHAT WE OFFER

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.
