Eurolls SpA, Italy, has further strengthened
its position by forming the Eurolls Wire
Machinery Division.
This division has rapidly acquired
an important role as a single source
for the supply of highly efficient/
technologically advanced wire pro-
duction and processing equipment such
as advanced fully automatic lattice girder
production lines for either standard or
special electro-welded structures, new
equipment and/or components for the
production of high resistant/high yield
reinforcements etc.
It is in the sector of high resistant/high
yield reinforcement production that
Eurolls Wire Machinery Division has
developed its new high speed combined
cold rolling/stretching lines – LGV2V
– which are currently operating in various
plants in Europe. The heart of this high
performance line is an innovative dual
capstan bull block designed to operate
efficiently in conjunction with both the
traditional Eurolls cold rolling cassettes, for
the production of cold rolled wire, as well
as wire stretching panels, for production of
high resistant/high yield reinforcements.
Two totally different reinforcement
products satisfy the different and stringent
quality/mechanical parameters as imposed
by the latest European codes.
The new high speed combined cold
rolling/stretching line LGV2V has also been
designed with particular emphasis placed
on the ease of rod threading, eg presence
of motorised feeding rolls, self-threading
bull block capstans etc, so important
when operating with large diameter entry
material required for the production of
the top end reinforcements, independent
on whether cold rolled wire or stretched
material.
To ensure a correct rod feed into such
a line, a new continuous horizontal hot
rolled rod coil pay-off system has also
been developed.
This system is the perfect complement
to the high speed cold rolling/stretching
line, LGV2V, because it guarantees a
continuous rod feed that is not affected
by the dimension/diameter of the rod coil
or the time required to properly weld the
successive entry rod coils.
The concept of total flexibility/high
efficiency has also been extended to
the collection system which permits the
formation of different formats of the cold
rolled wire/stretched material.
For this reason the line has been designed
to efficiently produce – at high speed –
both straightened and cut bars as well as
precision laid strapped coils (layer to layer
wire) with fully automatic spoolers with
up to 5 ton capacity.
