An Italian rated Aluminium trader will equip its facility with a Line combining Recoiling of Coil with Levelling and Cut to Length of the strip featuring made-to-measure design engineered by Salico.
Decoiling, Edge Trimming, Leveling, Top PVC and Bottom Foil Application, Recoiling or Cutting To Length of the strip ending with Non-stop Stacker, these are all the functions which can be incredibly found in only 32 m layout of this Line.
The Line, capable to process coil of 12,5 ton featuring incoming strip width 1600 mm in the thickness range 0,4 to 4,0 mm, consist of machines featuring design to minimize the foundation work as a precise requirement of our customer. In Cut to Length mode, maximum sheet length performed via Non-stop Stacking is 4000 mm, while Stop Stacking allow to produce 8000 mm long sheet.
A Line of such a peculiar design has been engineered in synergy with our customer to meet entirely its production supply chain from sourcing the primary material as coils to then supplying these in the market as processed sheets or coils.
- The Levelling Machine in the Recoiling section of the Line allow the buying of aluminium coils readily available on the market just after rolling mill process without having to wait for the necessary “de-tensioning” process.
- At the same regard, the Edge Trimming facility is fundamental to remove the rolling milled edges of the strip.
The Levelling Machine, featuring 6-high “cassette” design, allow the extraction of the rollers effortlessly. The upper part of the Levelling Machine features all the possible positioning the upper halve of the “cassette” along the “X” and “Y” axis; in the lower part of the Machine, the lower halve of the “cassette” benefits of no. 7 “localized corrections”. Backlash recovering of screws-down in charge to move the upper part of the Levelling Machine along the “X” and “Y” axis is via hydraulic circuit of Salico proprietary design. The machine is complete with Spraying Liquid Media Circuit for cleaning both the strip and the rollers, this as well of unique Salico design.
Despite the Line is mainly focused about performing in quality, productivity in Cut To Length section is paid attention via high performing Non-stop Stacker: a coil is cut entirely without interruption by benefit of two stacking tables working alternatively; our customer can supply the market with special tailor blank sheet or standard size ones keeping maximum uptime of the Line.
The Salico Rotary Shear, as the undisputed leader of Rotary Shear available in the market, is the perfect complementary machine of the Non-stop Stacker.
Talking about attention to quality, Top PVC and Bottom foil Application are laid out in the Line to allow their application either when Recoiling or Cutting to Length.
The Line is scheduled to be on stream for production by the second quarter of 2021; as flexible to process and supply Aluminium in the market as “de-tensioned” processed coils, special tailor blank or standard size sheet, our customer can reach a large array of final users in different sectors like shipbuilding, household appliances including furniture and kitchens, cycles & motorcycles etc.
With this Line Salico is marking a fundamental step forward in the developing of the Aluminium Coil Service Centers not only in the designing of the Line but also and very importantly in the seeking and tracing of the production supply chain of this emerging reality.
