Fives, an expert partner for cold rolling

Our added value: we go beyond high quality equipment

Fives is recognized as a top designer and manufacturer ofcold rolling mills. Its technological leadership and long-proven engineering experience distinguishes Fives as a leading builder of mills for stainless steel, silicon steel, carbon steel and nonferrous materials like copper and titanium.

WhAtever yOur needS And the prOduCt quAlIty yOu WAnt tO AChIeve, Our COld rOllIng equIpment OFFerS: — Productivity — Flexibility — Reliability & easy maintenance

— Quality of final product — Safety for the operator for reduced costs

pArtnerIng All AlOng the equIpment’S lIFe CyCleFives’ teams bring their extensive technical know-how and experience to assist steelmakers in selecting the most adequate solution according to needs and technical requirements. Close support is provided at every stage of the implementation of the project (pre-sale, implementation, commissioning).

Fives’ expert engineers will:

— specify the optimum technology for a given steel application (steel type and grade, thickness and width of the strip, etc.) and select the mill technology accordingly

— optimize the configuration and installation of the mill stand, to subsequently improve the distribution of coils.

— provide a wide range of services aiming at enhancing the equipment’s performance after commissioning.

SuppOrtIng tOOlS FOr An OptImum prOduCtIOnFives’ teams also rely on in-house-developed software solutions that can simulate and model the rolling process. These tools allow to proceed with a complete diagnostic – before or after mill completion – by calculating the parameters (incl. the adequate sizing of the equipment) that are necessary to reach the required productivity; a further guarantee for an optimum operation of the mill and the subsequent perfect product quality.

An ongoing drive for continuous improvement Fives’ teams are keen on developing equipment that better anticipate and meet the needs of its customers in terms of performance, quality, safety and respect for the environment. For the cold rolling process, this translates amongst others into new designs of mills, which release less oil fumes and allow reduced energy consumption.This brings improved comfort for the operator as well as enhanced durability and a lighter environmental footprint of the equipment, which also translates into lower operating and maintenance costs.

highly efficient cold rolling mills and skin pass mills designed for high productivity and product quality

reduCIng rOllIng mIllSFives offers a full range of cold rolling mills, either reversible or integrated into the processing line. For the design of this equipment, special attention is paid to:

— Flatness

— Thickness (from 0.0025 to 10 mm)

— Rolling speed (up to 1,200 mm)

— Surface quality

— Width (from 600 to 2,100 mm)

Monobloc 20-Hi Mill

Reach extreme accurate gauge tolerances for rolling hard and thin materials

— Achieves significant reductions without intermediate annealing, thanks to the small work roll diameter.

— Rolls perfectly the material over its full width and length thanks to an optimal transmission of the separating force within the housing mill and its components.

— Offers excellent strip flatness and the highest standards of surface finish.

Twin Housing 20-Hi Mill

Achieve high reduction percentages for the most brittle materials

— The perfect design for materials with special mechanical properties that are more sensitive to strip breakage provides improved roll gap accessibility and easy threading

— Easy adjustment of the work roll diameter, even for the largest strip gauge ranges

— Capacity to process a wide variety of strip thicknesses and materials with a broad range of mechanical properties in a cost-effective manner.

18-Hi Mill

The perfect balance between work roll diameters and relevant flatness, with an interesting cost-performance ratio.The 18-Hi mills are custom-designed for reduction processes in an integrated processing line, forming a multi-stand tandem mill. Only one processing step is then required to shape hot-rolled coils into medium thickness finished products of medium thickness.

SKIn pASS / temper mIllS2 Hi – 4 Hi – 6 Hi: a full range of high-precision mills to ensure a perfect finish for various materials (carbon steel including tin plates, stainless steel, etc.), either in-line or off-line. — This technology allows to achieve specific surface aspects (roughness, brightness, etc.) and improves the flatness of the strip— It is particularly suited for materials with a high drawability or high brightness requirement

These mills can operate in wet and dry conditions depending on the application. It also allows easy access to all sections of the machine for simple and effective operation and maintenance, as well as fast and effective roll change.

These mills are also available in a tandem version with two stands. Fives also offers solutions to integrate single or double reduction skin pass mill tandems into tinplate annealing lines.

2-Hi Skin-pass mills

Designed for demanding applications that require a high level of brightness, mainly used for stainless steel production and equipped with:

— Roll polishing system

— Double acting hydraulic cylinder

Suitable for a variety of steel products, from very low to very high strengths with two ranges of work roll diameters and a high-performance roll cleaning system. 4-Hi skin-pass mills are used on galvanizing lines (combined with a tension leveler) and continuous annealing lines.

The flexible option for the processing of various types of strips (width, thickness) under any operating conditions (mainly used in continuous annealing lines), maintaining a constant high level of flatness. With two ranges of work roll diameters, the 6-Hi skin-pass mill is then suitable for a wide range of steel grades, from low carbon steel to high strength steel.
