Overall layout Steel rolling production line equipment is generally composed of heating furnace, rolling mill, cutting machine, roller conveyor equipment, cooling equipment and other parts. Usually, the layout of the entire equipment is that the main equipment such as heating furnace, rolling mill, cutting machine and so on are used in series, making the production process more continuous, automated and efficient.
Main equipment
Heating furnace The main function of the heating furnace is to preheat the steel billet to reach the appropriate rolling temperature. There are many types of heating furnaces, and the common ones are gas heating furnace, electric heating furnace, gas heating furnace, etc.
Rolling mill The main function of the rolling mill is to roll the steel billet and press it into a certain shape and size. Usually, the rolling mill is divided into multiple rolling passes to achieve a more refined rolling effect. Common types of rolling mills are hot rolling mills and cold rolling mills.
Cutting machine The cutting machine is located at the output end of the rolling mill, and the cooled strip is cut to size to meet the specifications required by the customer. Commonly used cutting machines include flying shears, shearing machines, etc.
Roller conveyor equipment Roller conveyor equipment is mainly responsible for conveying steel billets from the heating furnace to the rolling mill, and conveying the rolled steel coils to the cutting machine to form a continuous production line.
Cooling equipment The cooling equipment is responsible for cooling the rolled steel coils to achieve a balanced state and ensure the quality and reliability of the products. Commonly used cooling equipment includes air cooling, water cooling, etc.
Summary The configuration and use of steel rolling production line equipment will vary depending on the scale, process, product type and other factors of the production line. But generally speaking, heating furnaces, rolling mills, cutting machines, roller conveyor equipment, and cooling equipment are the most common and important equipment in steel rolling production lines. Understanding the main components of steel rolling production line equipment and the functions of each equipment can help readers better understand the production process and equipment configuration of steel rolling, and it has a certain reference value for people engaged in steel industry production
