MillDrives

In a hot rolling mill the metalworking process occurs above the re-crystallization temperature of the material. During this process the material is rolled through a number of passes to form the desired shape.To achieve the desired tonnage per hour and the desired sizes and shaped there may be a variation in the number of passes, the size of input material and the speed at which the mill operates. All these factors have an effect on the separating force on the mill rolls, the torque and power required.
In order to achieve smooth rolling it is very essential to have well engineered mill drives.The material being processed passes through a set of rolls which are fitted in a mill stand. These rolls are connected to a set of drive which consists of the motor, which is coupled to a gear box which is further coupled to a pinion stand which is coupled to the mill stand. Depending on the torque and power to be transmitted a flywheel may also be required
