How It Works

The Flat Rolling Workflow — Step by Step

Slab Reheating Furnace

Cold slabs (150–250 mm thick) charged into pusher / walking-beam furnace, heated to 1,150–1,250°C ready for hot rolling

Roughing Mill (Hot)

Heated slab passed through roughing mill stands — width & thickness reduced through 5–7 reversing passes to transfer-bar size

Finishing Mill — Tandem Stands

5–7 stand tandem hot finishing mill rolls transfer-bar to final HRC strip thickness with AGC (Automatic Gauge Control) & tension

Run-Out Cooling & Coiling

Laminar cooling on run-out table cools strip to coiling temperature (550–700°C); down-coiler winds into HRC coil

Pickling & Cold Rolling (CRC)

HRC pickled in HCl to remove scale, then cold-rolled in tandem cold mill to final CRC gauge with controlled gauge & surface

Annealing, Skin-Pass & Despatch

CRC batch / continuous annealed for ductility, skin-pass mill flattens & surface-finishes; coils slit/packed/despatched

Key Features & African-Market Benefits

Why Vezora Flat Rolling Mills Outperform in Africa

🌍

Sized for African Demand

Mid-size flat mills (30,000–250,000 TPA) sized for African construction, automotive, packaging & appliance demand — not over-spec'd European mega mills.

Energy-Efficient Reheating

Recuperator-equipped slab furnaces recover waste heat — 30–40% lower fuel consumption per ton compared to traditional pusher furnaces.

🎯

AGC & Tension Control

Automatic Gauge Control (hydraulic AGC) plus closed-loop tension control on tandem stands — guaranteed strip thickness within ±1% across full coil length.

🌀

Multi-Format Mill Stands

2-Hi reversing for plate, 4-Hi for HRC, 6-Hi for CRC, 20-Hi for special CRC — engineered to your specific product mix & thickness range.

🧪

Pickling & Annealing Integration

Push-pull / continuous pickling lines + batch / continuous annealing — complete cold-mill chain delivers HRC → P&O → CRC → annealed → skin-pass.

🔧

Local Spares & Roll Re-Grinding

Mill rolls, work rolls, back-up rolls, chocks, bearings & hydraulic spares stocked locally. Roll re-grinding service partnerships across major African mill regions.
