STEEL STRIP MILL ROLL SHOP EQUIPMENT
TSW Engineers specialises in the design and manufacture of Roll shop
equipment including, 5 Stand Tandem Reversing Mill Roll de-chocking
machines, Back-Up Roll de-chocking machines, Roll cleaning equipment
and Chock Tilting Machines.
De-Chocking machinery is used to assist in the removal of chocks
(roll bearing housing assemblies) from Tandem Mill work rolls and
back-up rolls. Work Roll systems consist generally of two powered
travelling (Y axis) bogies each having a hydraulically powered X-Z
axes table. Each bogie is positioned on rails each side of a central
roll support stand. The machine is manually controlled to remove the
chocks from either end of a used work roll allowing the roll to be
removed for re-grinding and then to re-fit the chocks to re-ground
rolls adjacently placed on the roll stand. The system significantly
reduces the turn around time for replacement of the work rolls in
the Mill, and is self aligning, easy to operate therefore increasing
bearing seal life. Because of the size and the infrequent need to
re-grind back up rolls, Back up de-chocking machines are usually one
roll units.
TSW has supplied de-chocking machines to organisations such as Corus
UK Ltd., Duferco Steel Processing PTY Ltd (South Africa), and
Bethlehem Steel Corporation (USA).
As each system is designed to suit the individual requirements of
each client please contact us for further information.
