A rolling mill is a mechanical device that rolls metal billets into the desired shape and size through rotating rollers. It is widely used in steel, non-ferrous metals, machinery manufacturing, automobiles, aerospace and other industries.
The main uses of rolling mills include:
Roller size
Diameter: The size of the roll diameter has an important impact on the production capacity and product specifications of the rolling mill. Rollers with larger diameters can withstand greater rolling forces and are suitable for rolling thicker and harder materials, but the equipment cost and floor space will also increase accordingly.
Length: The length of the roll determines the width of the rollable plate. Longer rolls can produce wider plates, but they will also place higher requirements on the structural strength and precision control of the equipment.
Overall size of the rolling mill
Length: Including arch spacing, working space before and after the rolls, etc. Longer rolling mills can accommodate more auxiliary equipment and process flows, but the difficulty of installation and maintenance will also increase.
Height: Involves the installation height of the rolling mill and the height of the operating platform. The appropriate height is convenient for operators to operate and maintain, and the connection with upstream and downstream equipment should also be considered.
Width: Mainly the width of the arch and the lateral size of the equipment. The size of the width affects the stability and space occupancy of the equipment.
