Advanced Pickling Technology for Diverse Needs
The pickling line from Primetals Technologies is designed to meet the growing demand for advanced steel grades and value-added products. Steel producers require a highly efficient pickling process to ensure clean, scale-free surfaces that optimize downstream processes. Whether it's a continuous pickling line, a push-pull pickling line, or a pickling line-tandem cold mill (PL-TCM), Primetals Technologies offers solutions that deliver precise control of strip tension, accurate strip guiding, and high-quality pickling performance. These systems ensure fast, stable processes with flawless strip tracking, enabling steel producers to handle a wide range of steel grades efficiently.
Continuous pickling lines from Primetals Technologies feature a modular design that ensures high pickling efficiency and economical operation. These lines integrate the latest advanced technologies and can be combined with other processes, such as galvanizing (CPGL – Continuous Pickling and Galvanizing Line) or tandem cold mills (TCM), for enhanced productivity. For smaller-scale operations, the push-pull pickling line offers flexibility and cost advantages, processing up to 1,000,000 tons of strip annually. With its uniquely designed V-shaped flat pickling tanks, this line is ideal for frequent changes in strip dimensions and steel grades.
Automation for Steel Strip Pickling Lines
Pickling line automation by Primetals Technologies ensures precise control, enhanced safety, and operational flexibility through advanced pickling models, real-time monitoring, and seamless system integration. By dynamically adjusting parameters like acid concentration, bath temperature, and strip speed based on coil data and process conditions, the system optimizes the pickling process for consistent product quality. Features such as scale breaker control, temperature gradient management, and automated coordination enhance efficiency and reduce downtime. At the same time, a user-friendly interface and scalable architecture support long-term adaptability and ease of operation.
