REVERSING COLD MILL In reversing cold mills the tension reels are placed on both ends of a single- or two-mill-stand arrangement. Due to the reversing rolling passes, production efficiency is lower than that of a tandem mill. However, because the rolling parameters can be quickly changed for each coil, reversing cold mills are especially suitable for the small-lot production of various product types. The size of the mill equipment is also smaller, which allows easier access to mill equipment and machinery for maintenance purposes. Due to their simpler design, reversing mills can be more easily stopped and restarted. They are also less expensive to purchase and operate. TECHNOLOGY Single-stand reversing cold mills Depending on the product mix, a single-stand cold rolling mill can deliver rolling capacities of 100,000 to 400,000 t/a. Rolling schedules can be carried out with an even or odd number of passes to maximize mill availability and performance. The Universal Crown Control mill (UCM mill) with work roll bending, intermediate roll bending, intermediate roll shifting and all straight roll application ensure enhanced flatness control. Also strip flatness measuring equipment mounted at one or both ends of the mill combined with multi-zone work-roll cooling to meet the highest demands for flatness.
