Designed for an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons, the CCM® comes with equipment of a very high technical level, ensuring both, premium strip quality in terms of flatness and efficient mill operation. Beside hydraulic gap control, both 6-high rolling stands are equipped with CVC® plus roll shifting technology. In combination with positive and negative work and intermediate roll bending, the system enables a wide setting range of the roll gap contour. The position controlled fully automatic wedge adjustment system ensures a constant pass-line. The entry and exit sides of the CCM® are equipped with X-Shape flatness measuring rolls, which display the shape of the strip online.
The X-Pact® automation system includes adaptive process model based Level 2 and enables pass schedule optimization.
These high quality features as well as the synergy of mechanical systems from Esmech and X-Pact® electrical and automation systems from SMS group enable delivering a CCM® dedicated for rolling tinplate grade material.
This mill will enable The Tinplate Company of India to roll a wide range of cold rolled strip for tinplate products, between 600 to 1300 mm width and exit gauge as low as 0.14 mm.
