Anling 1700 mm Coilbox™

Highest

operational Coilbox™ thread speed of up to 5.0 m/s

Simplified

coil mandrelless transfer mechanism

High

coiling performance with consistent round coil for all conditions

Challenges

Ansteel was planning a new, high-performance greenfield hot strip mill in Chaoyang, China.
It required a Coilbox™ to allow maximum processing flexibility for a wide variety of products and operating conditions.

Solutions

Inexperienced domestic suppliers were considered, but ultimately Ansteel turned to us for our world-class, leading coilbox technology.
The Hatch Coilbox™ demonstrated the processing speeds and reliability required for the new hot strip mill.

Highlights

The Anling Coilbox™ has the highest coilbox thread speed of 5.0 m/s and the highest reliability of coiling with no ovality.
The new Coilbox™ has a simpler mandrelless transfer system than previous designs.
The new Coilbox™ has the most flexible operator interface to allow for manual intervention when needed.

Project numbers

5.0 m/s maximum reliable thread speed
5.5 m/s maximum reliable run speed
3 seconds is the shortest stopping time between end of coiling and start of uncoiling
