Double Reduction Mill for Tinplate
Tenova’s Two Stand Double Reduction Mill (DCR) is a key element of light gauge tinplate production. Our solution is equipped with advanced measuring and process control systems that guarantee precise, efficient, and consistently high-quality production.
Overview
The DCR is a step in the production of light gauge tinplate after the recrystallization process in the annealing furnaces. The Two Stand Double Reduction mills plays a key role in obtaining an ultra-light strip gauge that also combines desired hardness, thereby ensuring superior strip surface and profile quality.
This versatile machine is designed to meet the market’s constantly evolving demands. The First Stand of the mill serves a dual purpose, handling both cold reduction and tempering effectively, while the second mill stand is exclusively dedicated to tempering, enhancing the surface finish of the outgoing strip.
Tenova's DCRs are outfitted with cutting-edge measuring and process control systems, guaranteeing the highest quality standards for tinplate production. Precise strip thickness control is achieved through a combination of feedback, feedforward, and mass-flow control.
Furthermore, Tenova mills boast a comprehensive range of advanced features. These include high-performance AGC Cylinders, Automatic Flatness Control (AFC), Positive and Negative work roll bending, Continuous Pass-line adjustment, and Quick work roll changing systems. Together, these features enhance the DCR performance and versatility in the production of light gauge tinplate.
