Guide Reels

Guide Reels ensure accurate alignment, proper metal flow, and precision in rolling mill processes. Made from high-quality alloy steel or carbide, they provide smooth guiding and longevity.

Dimensions:-

Size Outer Diameter (mm) Thickness / Length (mm)
Small 80 – 180 320 – 760
Medium 200 – 380 620 – 1450
Large 400 – 680 1000– 2800

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.
