Reversing Cold Mill
With this type of mill, tension reels are placed on both sides of 1 or 2 mill stands, and the strip is moved back and forth several times. The production efficiency is lower than that of a tandem mill, however because it allows the rolling conditions to be changed for each coil, it is suitable for small-lot production of multiple product types.
Because the size of the equipment is smaller, access to and maintenance of the machinery is simple, increasing the level of freedom in stopping and restarting the mill. It is also less expensive to purchase and operate.
If the mill is to be used for ordinary steel, we recommend a 6Hi UCM mill.
