Monitors and Analysers for Aluminium Strip Mill - Metal - Aluminium
Rolling mill for aluminium strip. The strip mill takes aluminium from the smelters or recycled product and converts it into a usable industrial form, reducing thick slabs into thin sheets that are light, durable and strong.
Accurate temperature measurements support process control throughout the strip mill, detecting problems before breakdown occurs. The quality of the finished product can be verified by thermal monitoring at key points.
Based on decades of experience within the industry, AMETEK Land products provide dedicated temperature solutions for the aluminium strip mill. The SPOT AL pyrometer delivers high accuracy with a fast response time.
Before hot rolling, the aluminium slabs must be heated up in the reheat furnace. The SPOT+ AL provides the precision measurement at the furnace exit to ensure correct heating.
Aluminium is reduced to the required uniform thickness at the rolling mill, and any necessary surface finish is applied before coiling. Temperature monitoring is essential to optimise the process, and detect potential mill br...
Cold rolling is performed at a much lower temperature to hot rolling and provides a finished product thickness with an improved surface finish, surface shape and thickness accuracy suitable for the final application.
