Mizushima works has remodeled the existing pickling line (No. 2CPL) and the batch type cold tandem mill (No. 1TM) into a fully continuous line in June 1985. Some necessary technologies for combining a pickling line with a cold tandem mill have been developed for a continuous operation; highly efficient descaling technique through introducing tension leveller and mechanical descaler, continuously width changeable trimmer, and advanced flying-gauge changing technology. Improvement in product quality and material yield, increase in productivity, shortened of production time, and labor saving have been obtained. We can produce cold rolled strip using only two processes, which are KM-CAL installed in February 1984 and the fully continuous descaling and cold rolling mill.
Now the operation of the new system is smooth and the benefits are as expected.
