Key Features
- High Wear Resistance – Prolongs service life.
- Accurate Guiding – Ensures precision in rolling operations.
- Customizable Designs – Available in different sizes & materials.
Working Principle
- Positioning the Material As the hot metal bar or rod approaches the roll pass, guide reels steer it into the correct position, ensuring that it enters the grooves accurately.
- Controlling Lateral Movement The rolls prevent side-to-side movement or twisting, which can lead to mis-rolling, poor tolerances, or groove damage.
- Maintaining Rolling Direction Guide reels ensure that the material stays in the intended rolling path, reducing the chance of deviation or erratic movement.
- Supporting Speed and Flow By keeping the metal stable, guide reels allow for faster rolling speeds, especially in high-speed continuous mills.
