F&P Levelers & Straighteners (New) #3476

High quality new Levelers & Straighteners for material thicknesses up to 16mm by us: 4-HI & 6-HI types, with all options like: quick changeover roll cassettes, quick calibration, back-up removal etc. -- Levellers help solving coil set, crossbow, center-buckle and wavy edge problems. By selectively bending portions of the leveller work rolls through the adjustable back-up rolls, the material fibers get properly stretched in the "critical" areas. In the 6-HI configuration in particular, full-width intermediate rolls are mounted between the work rolls and the back-up rolls, to help distributing the pressure of the latter across the surface of work rolls. This setup is used for surface-critical materials: like i.g. aluminum, polished stainless, pre-painted... -- Straighteners & Levellers i.g.: -- Ordinary Straighteners (or "Flatteners") incorporate large-diameter rolls (five to eleven) and can just remove the coil set and crossbow. They cannot correct side-to-side length variations. -- The Precision Straighteners' rolls are of smaller diameters; back-up rolls keep the top & bottom work rolls "parallel". But, the back-up rolls being fixed these Straighteners also can only remove the coil set and crossbow. -- Levellers incorporate a series of closely-spaced, relatively small work rolls with adjustable back-up rolls along these. The adjustment of back-up rolls allows deflecting portions of the work rolls, e.g. to eliminate/minimize material defects like crossbow, edge-waves etc. -- For optimum flatness in general, Levellers are required. -- Versatile, efficient and easy to operate our Levellers deliver "premium-quality" aluminium, carbon steel, copper, high tensile strength materials, prepainted metals, stainless steel, tinplate, titanium... products They are highly regarded by mills, coil service centers etc. for their high performance and reliability
