PLTCM Unit Process: Pickling +Trimmer + Cold Rolling Mill

Pickling Line
Coil handling at the entry side of the PL
The hot rolled coils are transferred from the hot rolled coil storage area to the
entry
coil cars of the PL using a walking beam conveyor and a transfer car.

The walking beam conveyor system is arranged in the hot rolled coil storage bay
perpendicular to the centreline of the PL. To bad walking beam conveyor
system, a
number of boarding skids can be used. Loading is done by means of the bay
crane.
A combined outside diameter and coil width detection device is arranged
besides the walking beam conveyor. The outside diameter is recorded so that
the coil cars in front of pay-off reel no.1 and 2 can position the hot rolled coils to
the correct reel
height automatically.
The measured data will be also used for coil centering. The coil centering device
is
integrated into the lifting beam of the walking beam conveyor.

After centering, the coils will be manually debanded.

The transfer car will transport the coils to the take-over positions upstream of
coil
cars. Then the coils will be taken over either by coil car No. 1 or No. 2. Coil car
No. 1
will hand over the coil to pay off reel No. 1, whereas coil car No. 2 will hand over
the
coil to pay off reel No. 2.

The respective pay-off reel mandrel will be expanded and after retracting of the
coil
car into the waiting position, the outboard bearing will be adjusted.

PAGE 5
PAGE 6
Pickling line entry section
After the mandrel of the pay off reel No.1 or No.2 has been expanded the strip
will be fed to the waiting position in front of the welder as described below:

The threading table will be raised and moved against the coil and the snubber
roll will be applied.

The strip head of the coil will be threaded through entry pinch roll and the
flattener.
After applying of pinch roll and flattener the extensions of the threading table
will be retracted and swiveled into the home position. The strip head end will be
fed forward by the pay-off reel to the dividing shear. Then the pinch roll unit
and the flattener will be closed and the strip head end will be threaded through
to the dividing shear.

A sensor will detect the strip head end and the strip length will be measured by
a
pulse generator at the entry pinch roll. After strip head end centering, the scrap
pinch roll will be applied and the strip head end will be cut in the dividing shear.
After cropping, the strip head end will be fed forward to a waiting position in
front of deflector pinch roll no. 2.

Before the strip tail of the preceding coil end runs out the pay-off reel
decelerates the entry section in time. When tailing out speed has been reached,
the flattener rolls and the snubber rolls of steering roll unit No.1 and bridle unit
No. 1 will be applied.

As soon as the strip tail end has left the payoff reel, the mandrel will be
collapsed. At the same time the pinch roll unit and the flattener move to the
open position. Then the same in feeding procedure, as described before can be
done for the next coll. The levelled strip tail end moves on to the dividing shear
No. 2 and will be cut into scrap pieces of approx. 1 m length.

PAGE 7
After dividing the strip tail end moves to the welding machine, whereby the
driven
snubber roll of the steering roll unit and of the bridle roll unit arranged in front
of the strip accumulator will be stopped prior to strip tail end standstill, so that
a strip loop between the welding machine and steering roll No. 1 can be
formed.
As soon as the tail end of the preceding strip has passed deflector pinch roll no.
2 the strip head end of the second entry section which is already in waiting
position in front of deflector pinch roll no. 2 will be fed forward to the welding
machine. A loop will be formed.

The separated tail end in front of the dividing shear will be cut into scrap sheets.
During this cutting cycle a tail end rest length calculation will limit the minimum
sheet length of the last scrap sheet according to pre-setting total cutting length
data. During cutting by the crop shear the top pinch roll of the scrap pinch roll
unit in front of the shear is lowered and will move the scrap sheets onto the
scrap conveyor and then into the scrap bucket station.

PAGE 8
Strip welding (Laser Welder)
Before the strip head- and tail end can be welded together both strip ends will
be
centered and clamped in the welding machine. For centering purposes one
centering loop each will be built in front of and behind the welding machine.
The welding process will be initiated after both, head and tail end, have been
positioned in the welding machine. After welding, the weld seam will be
notched and a hole, which is required for the weld seam detection, will be
generated within the welder.
On completion of this the strip in the welding machine is released and the entry
section is ready for operation after elimination of the centering loops.

PAGE 9
Entry loop accumulator

PAGE 10
At the beginning of acceleration of the entry section, the snubber rolls of strip
centering control No.1 and of bridle unit No. 1 as well as the pinch roll unit
behind the welding machine are lifted off. The strip now moves via strip
centering control No. 1 to bridie roll stand No. 1.

Strip centering control No. 1 compensates for strip off-center travel in the entry
section, with the result that, after bridle roll stand No. 1, the strip is fed in a
centered Position into the entry loop accumulator. Strip off-center travel in
accumulator No. 1 is compensated for by strip centering control No. 2 and 3,
while strip centering control No. 4 at the end of the entry accumulator corrects
strip travel so that it is fed in a centered position to the deflector roll in front of
the scale breaker.

PAGE 11
Scale Braker Unit
Stretch bending unit The strip passes through the scale breaker. In it bending
stresses are superimposed on the tensile stresses in the material by deflecting it
around a roller of relatively small diameter. Suitable arranged rollers bend the
strip in both directions and, in so doing, stretch the outside fibres to a degree
required to achieve lasting deformation.
The tensioning stress is generated by a speed differential between the bridle
rolls in
front of and behind the scale breaker. The stretch rate corresponds to the speed
differential set in the individual drives. The necessary strip tensions between the
rolls are applied via the individual drives in conjunction with the external
tensions in front of/behind the bridle rolls.
Load cells are provided underneath the pillow blocks of steering unit no.4 in
front of the scale breaker to monitor the tension in the stretch bending unit
area.
Under normal operating conditions the weld seam will pass through the scale
breaker without any modification of the preset values in regard to strip tension
or roll intermesh. Under certain conditions, e.g. in case of major strip gauge
differences at the weld seam, it can be necessary to release the strip tension or
to open the work roll cassettes of the scale breaker during weld seam passing
through.
The scale exhaust system removes scale dust from the scale breaker in front of
the
process section and reduces the dust content in the bay air. Therefore the
complete
bending- and levelling roll unit is of capsular type and the scale dust will be
exhausted from the bottom side.

PAGE 12
Pickling Section / Chemical Section

The pickling section is divided into separate pickling chambers. The pickling
chambers are separated from each other by a squeegee roller pair in connection
with a discharge chamber.
To each pickling chamber corresponds a circulation tank ensuring the acid
supply to
the pickling chambers. The circulation tanks are also used as acid collecting
tanks. In case of strip standstills the acid is discharged from the pickling
chambers. Also the
acid cascade is fed from these circulation tanks.
Horizontal centrifugal pumps will be installed in the circulation circuits,
supplying the acid to the pickling chambers via heat exchangers and connecting
pipe work.
The pickling tanks will be made of granite contained in steel rubber coated tank.
The
acid flowing back from the pickling tank is led to the discharge chambers
arranged at the entry and exit side between the pickling tanks. Granite Tank
covers are provided.

The temperature of the pickling solution will be controlled automatically.

The waste acid is pumped automatically to the acid regeneration plant.
The rinsing section of the pickling line will be designed as a cascade. Similar of
the
pickling tank, the rinsing tank is made of granite.
The collecting tanks for the circulation supply are provided. Also these circuits
will be provided with horizontal centrifugal pumps.
The condensate produced in the pickling line will be used as rinsing fluid, which
is
supplied to the last zone of the rinsing section.
The cascade flow of the rinsing system and, thus, the concentration of Cl-ions in
the
rinse water will be controlled via a conductivity control system.
Rinse water delivered by rinsing stage 1 will be collected in a rinse water
collecting
tank and pumped to the the acid regeneration plant.

PAGE 13
Squeegee rolls will be provided for the separation of the rinse stages. The
squeegee rollers are supported on both ends by a housing frame. Positioning of
the top roller will be effected by means of air cylinders. The rollers are
supported in seif-aligning roller bearings and bearing boxes of standard type.
The pickling and rinsing tanks are provided with recesses through which the
shaft journals of the squeegee rollers are lead to the outside. These openings
are closed by means of double sliding doors of plastic material.

The strip dryer at downstream of the rinsing section uses re-circulated heated
air system. The vapour produced by the high treatment temperatures on the
bath surface in the pickling and rinsing section as well as inside the acid
circulation tanks is exhausted. Before exhausting this vapour above roof level, it
has to be cleaned in accordance with the emission regulations of the competent
authorities for the intended site.

The HCI containing gases to be exhausted will be washed-off in an absorption

tower
system. Pickling line exit section After the strip has passed through the chemical
section it passes over the strip centering control No. 6 and bridle set no.4 into
the intermediate loop accumulator, which is designed as a two-strand
accumulator.

PAGE 14
Side trimmer section

The strip leaves the intermediate loop accumulator, via strip centering control
units
No. 7 and No.8 towards the side trimmer. If there is a strip width change, a hole
detection device and an automatic stopping device will stop the strip at
Trimmer.
Then the strip is fed forward to trimming blades in operation and the strip width
is
changed at the side trimmer. The side trimmer is designed as a double-turret-
type
side trimmer, i.e. it is equipped with two turret heads, each provided with two
nondriven trimmer knife sets and two complete scrap chopper units - one side
trimmer knife set with corresponding scrap chopper unit is in operation and one
side trimmer knife set with corresponding scrap chopper unit is in the 180°
opposite position (Stand-by). So it is possible to perform a quick knife change in
case of any troubles in a "safe" operator position. Behind the side trimming
group a vertical inspection stands for visual strip inspection is arranged. Behind
the side trimmer the bridle roll No. 5 is arranged. On top of the vertical
inspection housing the strip centering device No.9 is mounted
The weld seam then runs from the inspection stand via a deflector roll into the
exit
loop accumulator which is designed as a 2-strand loop accumulator. Strip off-
centre travel (mis tracking) in the exit accumulator 15 compensated by strip
centering control unit No. 10. A tension measuring device is located under the
pillow blocks of steering roll No.10.

PAGE 15
Intermediate and exit accumulator

The intermediate loop accumulator will mainly store the necessary amount of
strip
caused by the downtime during strip width change at the side trimmer in order
to
maintain a continuous and constant speed in the pickling section. The exit loop
accumulator will mainly be used to store the required amount of strip during
strip width change at the side trimmer and also during coil change behind the
TCM.

During a strip width change at the side trimmer the exit looper will maintain a
continuous TCM operation while the strip speed at side trimmer is "0". During a
coil change behind the TCM the exit looper will maintain a continuous operation
of the pickling section. In normal operation the loop cars of the Intermediate
loop accumulators and exit accumulator are positioned in the middle of the
accumulators. In this way it is possible in case of unscheduled stoppages of PL or
TCM to continue the operation in the other part of the line for a certain time
without stoppage. Beside strip accumulation during normal line operation both
exit loopers will also be used during work roll change at the TCM. Before WR-
Change in the TCM both loopers will be emptied and the pickling speed will be
decreased. During WR-Change so it is possible to run the pickling section with
reduced speed without stoppage. In order to minimize over-pickling during this
operation with minimum pickling speed ‚ the acid pump flow shall be controlled
within acceptable
limit. The strip leaves the exit accumulator below the trimming section to the
bridle roll No. 6 via strip centering control No.11. The bridle roll No. 7 maintains
the required pretension for the first stand of the tandem mill and compensates
the acceleration and deceleration tensions fluctuations.

PAGE 16
Entry section of TCM

The strip runs from strip centering control No. 12 via bridle No. 7 into the first
stand
of the tandem mill.

PAGE 17
Measuring Devices (E-supply)
For controlling the rolling process technology various measuring devices, i.e. for
tension, thickness, speed and flatness, are installed in the 5-stand tandem cold
mill.
Number and location are defined in the Electrics and Automation specification.
Supports and guards are installed for all measuring devices. Blow-off nozzles to
blow
off fluids from the strip, thus ensuring accurate measurement, are part of the
thickness and speed measurement units.

lnterstand equipment
Following interstand equipment is provided for stand # 1 to # 5:
Anti-sticker guides for the top and bottom work rolls to prevent the strip from
wrapping around the work rolls in case of strip breakages. Hold-down rolls with
cooing devices are used to cool the strip by spraying emulsion on the strip
surface as weIl as obtaining a constant wrap angle at the strip tension
measuring rolls. Simultaneously they serve to squeeze off the roll coolant from
the top strip surface which is carried over from the previous mill stand.
Strip champing device to clamp the strip during roll change process.
Pivoting tables in order to guide the strip during threading and tail-out
processes.
Stationary tables in order to guide the strip.

PAGE 18
Roll coolant spraying equipment
For roll coolant application following equipment is provided:
Emulsion spraying equipment is used for roll gap lubrication, work roll barrel
cooing,
backup roll lubrication and cleaning as well as for strip cooing.
As mentioned above hold-down roll with cooing devices are used to cool the
strip
by spraying emulsion on the strip surface.
For stand # 5 a multizone cooling System is provided in conjunction with a
closed
loop flatness control for thermal crown control.

Dry strip System

Mill stand No. 5 is equipped with the patented DS-system (Dry Strip-system)
featuring an effective strip blow-off to remove roll coolant drops from the
finished material
and preventing droplets from falling down on the strip.

PAGE 19
Roll changing equipment
The work & intermediate roll changing operations at all stands are fully-
automated.
For backup roll change a semi-automated Operation is provided.

Work & intermediate roll change

After opening the mill shutter door, the changing car will move forward to
connect the changing rails of the car with the rails inside the mill. The backup
roll balancing and roll bending cylinders lift up the top rolls and the wedge
adjustment System lowers the bottom rolls. The hydraulic gap control cylinders
collapse at the same time. The tong carriage installed on the undercarriage
advances and catches the rolls with its hydraulically operated tongs.

After retracting the rolls from the mill stand, the side-shifter on the
undercarriage
brings the new roll set on centreline of the mill, and the tong carriage pushes
the rolls into the mill. To bring the mill back to rolling mode the movements
described above are performed in the reverse sequence.

On completion of the roll change Operation, the used rolls are transported on
the roll transport car directly into the roll shop bay. Loading and unloading of
the roll
transport car will be performed by means of the bay crane in the roll shop.

Backup roll change

Prior to change the backup rolls the work & intermediate rolls have to be
removed
from the mill stand.
For roll change the bottom backup rolls will be lowered by means of the wedge
adjustment System onto a backup roll change carriage which is arranged in the
lower mill stand area.
Then the backup roll change carriage will be retracted from the mill stand by
using
the backup roll changing cylinder in order to place the dismantling stool on the
bottom backup roll by means of the bay crane.

PAGE 20
For changing the top backup roll, the bottom backup roll with dismantling stool
will be inserted into the mill stand again and by means of the top backup roll
balancing system the top backup roll will be lowered onto the dismantling stool.
Both backup rolls will then be retracted from the mill stand.
Insertion of the new backup rolls into the mill stand takes place vice versa.
The dismantling stool will be moved by means of the bay crane.
Unloading and loading of the backup roll change carriage will be performed by
means of the bay crane.
Transportation of the backup rolls between roll shop and the mill bay will be
done
with a dedicated transport car.

PAGE 21
Exit side equipment with carrousel reel

The exit section is designed for discontinuous operation and consists mainly of
the
carousel reel with associated belt wrapper as weIl as one coil car.
The exit side is designed in the way to retrofit the rotary shear, the pinch roll
unit and a strip deflector device later on, in case a continuous operation of the
mill will be realized.
For cooling the first wraps a pivoting belt wrapper is provided at the carousel
reel. The belt wrapper is equipped with a hydraulically operated belt tensioning
device.
When approx. 2 - 5 wraps have been coiled, the belt wrapper is retracted to its
waiting position and the tandem mill are accelerated to the required rolling
speed.
As soon as the finished coil has been removed from the mandrel, the carousel
reel
can be turned from the threading position to the coiling position where the free
end of the mandrel with its coil is supported by the outboard bearing, thus,
preventing mandrel sagging.
The empty mandrel is already waiting for the next strip head.
At each of the two (2) exit walking beam conveyors the coils will be weighed
and
strapped in order to be ready to be taken off by the bay crane for further
distribution
according to the material flow

Spool handling device

the exit side a spool handling device is installed to be able to provide the
respective
coiler mandrel of the carousel reel with spools in case of exit strip thickness
bellow
approx. 0.4 mm.
This spool handling system mainly consists of a base frame with spool ramp and
stopper and a cradle with traversing frame and telescopic frame.
The spools will be taken over from the spools ramp onto a cradle by means of a

PAGE 22
hydraulically actuated stopper. Strip centering systems and a clamping device
ensure
a centered feeding of the spools onto the reel mandrel.
The base frame with s ramp is able to operate with spools of different length.

PAGE 23
Media systems

Along with the tandem cold mill all required auxiliary systems will be arranged,
such
as: Emulsion system using soluble oil allowing the rolling of so-called mill clean
sheet for all material grades with only one type of emulsion (base oil). The
emulsion system is equipped with speed-controlled supply pumps for energy
saving as weIl as with permanent magnet separators for optimized cleaning of
the emulsion.
