EUROPEAN STEEL TECHNOLOGY AND APPLICATION DAYS 2017 - ESTAD 2017

In the field of down coiler technology in hot strip mills PRIMETALS Technologies has developed new innovative products which remove a head-ache by substantially simplifying operation and maintenance work and considerably reducing operation and maintenance costs. Contrary to conventional wear plates where the passing strip always cuts into the plates along the same line, wear on Primetals’ Eco Slide Discs is distributed across the entire disc surface. This avoids strip edge defects and extends the service life from few days using conventional wear plates to several weeks without any service requirement. Another great feature of the Eco Slide Discs is their inherent self-cleaning effect, which reduces the risk of material deposits falling onto the strip, hence eliminating an important cause of hot strip surface damages.
