SUMMARY:Applications of Kocks 3-roll blocks for SBQ Production
DESCRIPTION:While most of the Kocks 3-roll blocks are popular as finishing blocks in long product rolling mills, there are also applications, where a Kocks block can suit as alternative to a roughing as well as an intermediate mill. The smooth and gentle reduction behavior of the 3-roll pass, the most flexible stand change system in combination with a very compact and modular design allows an implementation in a very tight space.

Especially in existing rolling mills space is very limited. Still being able to add additional reduction capacities grant some very crucial advantages. Bigger billet sizes can be used, or a different, more flexible distribution of the reduction in the stands is feasible. Which in consequence is a key factor in order to optimize the quality of the finished product.

As a result, the productivity of the plant can be increased, and the rolling process can be optimized. New, more difficult to roll material grades, can be added to the product portfolio. All of this without major changes of the layout of the rolling mill.

This paper describes the application and the unique advantages of the Kocks 3-roll technology, when used in a roughing but also in an intermediate mill.
