Q-FLOW+

Advanced laminar cooling system for hot strip mills

BENEFITS

Modular design for tailored made layouts based on the customer’s product mix and target cooling strategies for the most advanced products (DP and FB – steels or API)
Various module types available:

- Intesive (pressurized water): ultra-high cooling rates (thick gauge API)

- Power Laminar maximum cooling rates for low pressure tank based feeding systems (HSLA, medium gauge API)

- High Density Laminar Trimming same cooling rates as power combined with minimum flow increments

Excellent homogeneity of mechanical properties due to tight and consistent temperature control
Edge masking system for all laminar modules
Safe threading for of ultra-thin gauges
Easy access (maintenance friendly) and robust design
Return On Investment (ROI) < 1.5 years (alloying element reduction and new products)
