Straighteners

Go back to markets

Straightener machines are used in the continuous casting process. During continuous casting, molten steel is solidified into semi-finished billets, blooms or slabs for subsequent rolling in finishing mills. Straighteners ensure the semi-finished product is straight and, by controlling the speed of the steel as it runs through the rollers, optimizes the quality of the billet, bloom or slab. There are different configurations, and different products and relevant sizes will define the number of rolls, how many of them are to be driven and the electric motor power. Gearboxes are generally equipped with cooling coils to cool down the gearbox oil.
