Vertical Coiler/Set Volume Device

Vertical Coiler in Hot Rolling Mill

1. Introduction:

The vertical coiler is an auxiliary equipment in hot rolling mill production lines, designed to transfer hot-rolled metal sheets or strips from the rolling mill to coiling equipment. Its vertically arranged structure allows efficient coiling and transportation tasks within a limited footprint.

2. Structure and Components:

Main Structure: The main structure of the vertical coiler typically includes a vertical coiling shaft with a coiling reel mounted on it. This design enables the metal material to be coiled vertically.

Coiling Reel: The coiling reel is a component that rotates around the coiling shaft and is responsible for winding the metal strip onto the coiling shaft. The design of the coiling reel can be adjusted based on the width of the material and coiling requirements.

Drive System: Vertical coilers are usually equipped with an efficient drive system, including an electric motor, gearbox, and coupling, to ensure stable and smooth operation of the coiling reel.

3. Functions and Applications:

Coiling Function: The primary function of the vertical coiler is to wind the hot-rolled metal sheet or strip onto the coiling shaft, creating a coil. This aids in subsequent processing and transportation.

Tension Control: Vertical coilers can precisely control the rotation speed and tension of the coiling reel, ensuring that the coiled metal strip maintains the appropriate tension during the coiling process.

Material Conveyance: The coiled metal coil can be further processed or transported to downstream processes through a conveying system.

4. Features and Advantages:

Efficient Coiling: The design of the vertical coiler allows for efficient coiling of metal strips, enhancing overall production efficiency.

Small Footprint: The vertically arranged design makes the vertical coiler suitable for hot rolling production lines with limited floor space.

Adjustable Coiling Parameters: Operators can adjust parameters such as the speed and tension of the coiling reel based on specific production requirements.

5. Maintenance and Safety:

Regular Inspection: To ensure the proper operation of the vertical coiler, regular inspections and maintenance are necessary, including lubrication, checking the drive system, and inspecting electrical components.

Safety Features: Vertical coilers are typically equipped with safety features such as emergency stop buttons and protective covers to ensure the safety of operators.

The vertical coiler serves as an auxiliary equipment in hot rolling production lines, providing essential support for efficient metal coiling.
