- Taylor Steel Tension Levelled Coils give you Remarkable Shape and Accurate Sizing.
The tension levelling line is comprised of an uncoiler, flattener, stitcher, drag bridal assembly, spread leveller, pull bridal assembly and recoil mandrel. The stretching is done by utilizing uncoiler brake-back tension, drag tension in the initial set of four bridle rolls, roll mesh in the leveller, pull tension in the second set of four bridal rolls and recoiler horsepower. The integration of these settings is determined by the gauge, width, material hardness and severity of the shape being corrected.
A wash unit, as part of the line, removes dirt and oil from the incoming strip reducing the chances of slippage, leading to greater control during the levelling process.
The Wash Unit is approximately 35 feet long. There is a pass line roll at the entrance, two 3M squeegee rolls for removing water from the srip surface and a pass line roll at the exit. As the strip passes through the wash section the top and bottom surfaces are sprayed with hot, soapy water from approximately 377 nozzles. The combination of water temperature (145degrees), water pressure, volume of water applied and soap solution removes oil from the bottom and top of the strip. The removal of oil is done to facilitate tracking on the bridle rolls. The oil film would create a barrier between the surface of the steel and the surface of the bridle roll. Effective shape correction at maximum line speed requires that the surface of both the material and bridle rolls be clean and dry.
