Aluminum Foil Rolling Mills: Efficient Production of High-Quality, Low-Cost Foil
The increasing demand for higher quality and more significant quantities of rolled aluminum foil has compelled equipment manufacturers to adapt to new market requirements. Finished thicknesses of 6 microns and below have become standard, along with rolling speeds reaching 2,000 meters per minute. Primetals Technologies has developed solutions to meet these demands: state-of-the-art mills, featuring capabilities for high-speed operation and control, ensuring consistent production volumes. The company's expertise in aluminum foil rolling mill processes and support guarantees record start-up times, with saleable coils produced from cold starts.
The portfolio of aluminum foil rolling mills from Primetals Technologies includes roughing, intermediate, finishing, universal, and bright finish solutions, all aligned with today's aluminum rolling market trends. These solutions enable the production of greater coil weights, wider strips, and meet the increasing demand for battery foils. Aluminum foil rolling mill technologies from Primetals Technologies feature a completely integrated automation and drive solution, supported by the latest generation of drive technology and a powerful automation platform. This ensures customers maximize yield and productivity while achieving:
- Rolling speeds of 2000 meters per minute
- Product widths of > 2000 millimeters
- Finished thickness of 0.0055 millimeters (5.5 microns)
Aluminum Foil Rolling Mill Features
- Air Bearing ShapeMeter (ABSM) roll provides a highly sensitive solution for accurate flatness feedback.
- Integral Solenoid Valve (ISV) sprays for improved flatness control.
- Back-up roll chock cooling increases mill production through constant high-speed passes.
- Edge trimming and scrap removal reduce the risk of strip breaks.
- Vapor Shield fume cleaning and rolling oil recovery reduces harmful emissions.
- Automated foil feed system for operator safety
- Fast work roll change sequence maximizes mill availability.
- Mill bearing temperature monitoring, cooling, and analysis are essential with long high-speed passes.
- Schneider Coolant Filtration maximizes mill availability and minimizes waste.
- Hot Edge Induction System for effective tight edge control
- Variable crown back-up roll improves coil yield and production
- ALEX (Asset Life Expert), condition monitoring assistant to keep the mill fully functional.
