Casting Rolls

Rolling mills are increasingly demanding rolls which are capable to maintain the shape and profile much longer with the aim to extend the length of campaigns. The state of the surface is one of the criteria determining the roll change. The premature failure of rolls is major concern amongst the mill-buyers as it adversely effects the mill operation and production. “Rolling mills value the rolls by the cost of uses and the excellent quality of the obtained surface on the rolled product” Hence they do the desired analysis before purchasing the rolls and their focus of selection revolves around - · Increasing the quality level, · Improving productivity, · Reducing the production costs by means of reliable equipment. Roll manufacturing plays a significant role in the performance of the roll. Rolling mills have specific requirements based on mill type and hence the stress level of the roll also changes which forms one of the basic criteria for the manufacturers. To get the desired results, roll manufacturer must carefully choose the material whose properties will be optimized and hence have to be very particular about heating, cadence, and rolling speed of the rolled products. Our team understands the overall requirements of the rolling mills and try to match the specific requirements based on mill type with the roll manufacturer to provide a well optimized product. We make sure that due diligence is done before the order is placed to the concerned manufacturers and some of the criteria’s we follow (taking into consideration the basic needs of the rolling mills) are - Specifications as per mill type Cost Productivity Timelines
