Another Danieli Fröhling six-high cold-finishing mill in operation

Confirmed by a final acceptance certificate, the new six-high cold-finishing mill of Shanxi Northern Copper, in Yuncheng, Shanxi province, China, is rolling a wide product mix of copper alloys, from soft pure copper up to hard bronze alloy.

The new six-high rolling mill integrates advanced geometric optimization and automatic thickness control (AGC) for high-speed, high-precision rolling.

It is equipped with a long-stroke shifting system on the intermediate rolls for a wide range of products, as well as work and intermediate roll bending with roll thermal-crown control for accurate strip flatness.

Strip dimensions range from an entry thickness of 3.0 mm down to a minimum finish thickness of 0.05 mm, at a maximum strip width of 670 mm.

This new mill will boost the company’s capacity in premium copper applications, laying a solid foundation for expansion into markets for 5G communication technology, new energy vehicles, and aerospace.
