New wire machinery division for Eurolls

New division is going from strength-to-strength

▲

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. 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 Two totally different

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.
