In SALICO we are proud for the confidence that TATA STEEL has placed on us once again

TATA STEEL has once again placed its confidence on us for the supply of a high tech Coils Dividing Line for their hot rolling complex in Kalinganagar, state of Odisha in eastern India.

The line will process the hot rolled coils coming from the modern TSK Hot Mill with dimensions of 2.150 mm in width and thickness ranging from 8 up to 25 mm.

The line will be intended for flatness improvement, inspection, repair works and division of the entry coils into several smaller daughter coils. The technological solutions will be engineered to ensure proper dealing with the coils of thick and hard materials with special care for coils feeding tasks, tail out operations and safe and ergonomic evacuation of the finished coils of very thick material from the recoiler mandrel in unstrapped condition.

The line will include a very high level of automation and Level II. With the aim of having a fully open and friendly system, specialized engineers from TSK will be engaged in the development of the automation solutions right from the beginning of the project working jointly and in a very close cooperation with the Salico automation engineers from our Kolkata office and from our automation offices in Europe as well.

This new contract between Tata Steel Kalinganagar works and Salico is the continuation of a very fruitful cooperation that started back in year 2019 with the delivery of two automotive recoiling and inspection lines for the Cold Rolling complex in the same plant.

FRANCHINI renews its trust in SALICO

Despite this extraordinary time, from the historical and economic point of view, characterized by market instability, the historic Brescian company FRANCHINI LAMIERE renews its trust in SALICO for the construction of two new cutting plants.

After the purchase of a 2,150*1.5 ÷ 12.0 mm slitter, currently being installed, FRANCHINI LAMIERE continues the constant technological updating of its systems that has always been its distinguishing feature in its more than 50-years-long activity.

With a view to innovation, SALICO has been commissioned two other plants with industry 4.0 technology that will allow FRANCHINI LAMIERE to continue the “smart factory” project, which began with the purchase of the Slitter line.

  • A 2,150*3÷12 cutting line with industry 4.0 technology which, with new technological and lay-out solutions for the processing of high-strength materials, will guarantee a greater production volume, increasingly ensuring the quality standards that have always distinguished the Brescian company. Automatic flattening groups, rotary shears for high thicknesses and non-stop stacker followed by an automated packaging section are some of the strengths of the new configured line that combines the skills and experience of the two Lombard companies.

  • A 2150*1.5÷6 cutting line with industry 4.0 technology which, thanks to the capacity of the SALICO Rotary Shear, the non-stop magnetic stacker and a highly automated packaging system, will guarantee to process not only hot rolled strip but also pickled and galvanized materials with a high production capacity.

 

SALICO-FRANCHINI LAMIERE:

An effective example of cooperation for a future of great results!

Disks Blanking Line for PROFILGLASS

Once again PROFILGLASS trusts Salico engineering and construction capacity assigning order for supplying no. 2 Blanking Lines for production of disk-shape-parts wanted for making pots and lids.

The two Lines, sharing same pass-line and lay-out design, will perform blanking of Aluminium strips by unwinding coils ranging different material thickness as 0,5 to 4,0 mm and 0,5 to 6,0 mm in respective Lines.

A Floor-level travelling Coil Car carries the Aluminium coil in centre-line-axis of the Line between Opposite Mandrels designed to collect the coil by clamping it via expanding the Mandrels in coil bore which can feature different diameters like 508 and 610 mm.

Aluminium coils presented at the entry of the line are featured with or without inner spools typically depending upon the material thickness.

The Line, downstream to decoiling of coil by Opposite Mandrels, is provided with a 6-high Levelling Machine featuring 13 Working Rolls of diameter 70 mm.

After levelling, the strip features like a shallow catenary up to reach the Feeder of the line.

The whole portion of the Line from Decoiler to Feeder moves zigzagging from centre-line-axis to feed the strip to the Blanking Press according to the disk pattern to produce.

Disk pattern possible to produce is just circular in a large range of diameters like 120 to 630 mm; a dedicated software manages zigzag moving the entry portion of the Line to optimize blanking of the strip with minimum residual scrap.

Maximum blanking pace is 80 disks per minute.

Blanking Press is of mechanical swinging glyph type operated via flywheel with clutch – brake; die change is performed full-Auto.

Blanked disks are conveyed via motorized belt to Stacker; before entering Stacker fine levelling of single disks is possible by Levelling Machine featuring 13 Working Rolls of diameter 40 mm.

Non-stop stacking is performed via two Stacking Stations stacking alternatively.

Strip scrap residual coming from blanking is fed to a Crop Shear at exit Blanking Press for cropping.

A lifting gripper removes the stacks of disks from Stacking Stations and move them to 1100 by 1100 mm size wooden pallet where from minimum two to forty-nine stacks can be located.

Disks Blanking Line for PROFILGLASS minded to blank Aluminium does not represent limits to blank Copper and Stainless-steel.
