New 3-roll block for bar and wire rod production now available
TZIE Tong Ze Intelligence Engi- neering Co., Ltd, Taiyuan, China have developed 3-roll blocks 3RB as Reducing-Finishing Block for special bar production and Intermediate-Reducing Block for bar and wire rod mills. The first Reducing-Finishing Block has been successfully commissioned at Huicheng Stainless Co., Ltd., Taizhou, China.
The machines are equipped with hydraulic servo screw down or with mechanical excenter adjust- ment. Both designs are readily available in different scales for bar diameters of 12 – 110mm. On request additional machine sizes can be engineered.
State of the art dimensional and surface quality gauges will be sup- plied with the 3RB and feed the closed loop control system for the online roll position and roll speed settings.
The machines offer outstanding flexibility with large free size ranges and chance free rolling
ability thanks to quick roll adjust- ment in line and fast roll changing in the roll shop.
Rolls are machined outside the stands. Precise roll adjustment is aided by a computerized optical bench.
With the installation of such a 3-roll block the plant layout can be drastically shorter, the oper- ating costs will be consistently
lower, the production capacity is increased and the bar quality is optimized.
