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 reinforce-
ments, 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.
