Mill Modernisation

Complete solutions for the modernization of mills

Description

Over 130 successfully completed projects worldwide. With the combination of the understanding of the whole rolling process and the experience with modern control methods, we have implemented modernisation solutions in many rolling mills that have significantly improved the quality of the finished product and the efficiency of the production. For thickness control, for example, we convert mills from electric motor to servo-hydraulic screwdown of the stands. We also replace pancake cylinders or the combination of spindle and hydraulic screwdown with modern long-stroke cylinders. Vollmer has already modernised mills with a rolling force of 3,000 t. For the modernisation of the shape control system, too, Vollmer offers complete solutions through to the control and modification of the adjusting elements.
