Non ferrous metals industries

As demand for quality and quantity of rolled non-ferrous metals products increases, so do the demands on production and maintenance equipment. Especially for those mills delivering products with high profile, flatness and surface quality with the highest level of consistency, the success relies to a great extent on the surface properties and performance of the rolls in production. This in turn sets the demands for roll maintenance, especially for the roll grinding function.

Achieving desired roll surface quality and shape will enhance the mill production performance and end product quality. A roll grinding process that is reliable and efficient, and controlled by state-of-the-art and easy-to-use technology will enhance the roll maintenance which, in turn, will enable a stable production flow in the mill.

Customized roll shop upgrade solutions and services for the non-ferrous metals industries

RollResearch specializes in modernization and servicing of major roll shop machinery in the non-ferrous metals industries. Starting the operation since early 90s’, the company has focused on upgrading roll grinding machine with its own advanced measuring technology as well as other machine tools, such as roll lathes and milling machine.

Roll measurement technology

Taking advantage of RollResearch’s high precision measurement and grinding solutions will facilitate the mill to improve process efficiency and reliability as well as end product quality. Shortening of the grinding cycle is made possible through the latest developments in grinding solution software.

Our state-of-the-art measuring devices are decicated to meet the demanding requirements for roll shape and surface quality. There are several options for different production requirements and customer needs.
