Installing Lubrication Systems
High roll loads of steel lead to increased roll wear and high energy consumption. In addition, specific combinations of rolling loads and speeds can cause stands to vibrate which leads to a special type of roll banding and increased wear of the equipment. These problems can be solved by installing a lubrication system.
