How should a steel strip cold mill plant configure its production equipment?
The configuration of a steel strip cold mill plant shall follow the principle of "advanced, practical, economical, and reasonable".
The capabilities of each production unit should match each other to ensure the smooth and stable production process and meet the production requirements of the product outline.
The production units configured by the cold -rolled steel factory are:
1. Push-pull pickling line（PPL）
2. Continuous pickling units (CPL)
3. Cold reversing mill (CRM)
4. Tandem cold mill (TCM)
5. Electrolytic cleaning line (ECL)
6. Batch annealing furnace(BAF)
7. Continuous annealing line (CAL)
8. Temper mill
9. Continuous hot dip galvanizing line(CGL)
10. Continuous electrolytic galvanizing line (EGL)
11. Continuous electrolytic tinning line (ETL)
12. Finishing line
13. color coating line(CCL)
14. acid regeneration plant (ARP)
15. Basic automation system (L1)
16. Process Automation System (L2)
17. Manufacturing execution system (MES)
18. Intercom system
The above is the general configuration of cold mill plant of steel strips.
