With the new aluminum cold rolling mill supplied by SMS Siemag, Northeast Light Alloy Co., Ltd., China, plans to produce high-quality aluminum strip products. Input stock for foil manufacture also will be rolled on the CVC® plus six-high stand.
The new SMS Siemag cold rolling mill, which will constitute the central production unit of the works in Harbin, is designed for a capacity of 85,000 tonnes per year and processes incoming strips with entry gauges of 8 mm maximum and widths of up to 1900 mm. The minimum final gauge is 100 μm, the maximum coil weight 21 tonnes.
The six-high stand is equipped with CVC plus intermediate-roll shifting and with multizone roll cooling for influencing strip flatness. A Hot Edge Spray system is provided to influence strip flatness in the strip edge area. The Dry Strip system installed in the exit section of the mill ensures that the residual oil on the surface of the rolled strips is kept to a minimum.
A coil preparation station, a coil conveyor system, and the full range of utility systems complete the mill stand.
As early as in 2006, Northeast Light Alloy had awarded an order to SMS Siemag, Germany, for the engineering and supply of a mill stand for wide aluminum plate for the works in Harbin, in the northern Chinese province of Hailongjang.
