APPLICATION
Benefits
The customer conditions the slabs to remove scale and defects before they are rolled into sheet material. The customer currently ground their slabs at a different facility and needed to be more efficient in their operation. They added grinding capabilities to this facility to accomplish that. The customer had limited crane time available in the mill they needed the conditioning grinder located, so material handling time had to be at a complete minimum. By offering in-line slab turning with the track grinder, this absolutely minimized the customer’s material handling requirements to only needing to load an unfinished slab and unload a completely finished slab. This not only saved a significant amount of time in turning the slabs but provided the customer with the crane availability they required elsewhere in the mill.
