AN INTEGRATED AUTOMATIC ROLL LUBRICATION SYSTEM FOR FINISHING STANDS OF HOT STRIP MILLS

摘要

The present invention discloses an integrated automatic roll lubrication system comprising of lubricating agent generating unit for preparing the lubricating agent in form of dispersion and applicator means operatively connected to said lubricating agent generating unit for controlled application of said dispersion over backup rolls to create a thin molecular boundary layer of the lubricating agent between mating surfaces of workpiece or feedstock and the work rolls for achieving controlled lubrication at roll bite of finishing stands of a hot strip rolling mill. The integrated automatic roll lubrication system also comprises a centralised programmable logic controller based automation system for automatically controlling operating conditions of the roll lubrication system. The roll lubrication system is integrated with an existing industrial hot strip rolling mill to provide lubrication simultaneously at multiple of finishing stands.
