Usage in Rolling Mills
Rolling is a continuous process, during which the input material is deformed between the rotating work
rolls. Rolling mill is the place where rolling takes place. The roll gap (a gap between the work
rolls) is smaller than the material entry height. As per the direction of passing the rolling stock
between the work rolls, the position of rolls axes in relation to the rolling stock, and the course of
rolling, a rolling mill can be categorized into longitudinal rolling mill, cross- rolling mill, and
diagonal rolling mill.
Roller conveyors or roller tables are essential to rolling mill plants and their regular operation.
Rolling mills use roller conveyors to carefully move material from point A to point B without human
intervention. The entire function of roller tables is to ensure efficient and speedy movements of
various materials, which is why they are commonly used in rolling mills.
For a roller conveyor to operate smoothly, there needs to be at least one rigid or almost flat object
to touch the rollers and retain steady equilibrium. Some of the most primary materials that roller
tables carry are steel billets, slabs, bars, ingots, plates and more.
