  • Rolling stand and corresponding method
    Patent number: 10259026
    Abstract: Rolling stand comprising a support structure, a rolling roll mounted on the support structure, and a cleaning unit of the rolling roll, comprising at least a brush and a positioning device for the brush. The positioning device comprises a support body on which the brush is installed, a pivoting member associated to the support body and around which the support body is selectively rotatable, an actuation member mounted on a support pin and associated to the support body in order to move it between an “inactive” position, in which the brush is not in contact with said rolling roll, and an “operating” position, in which the brush is in contact with the rolling roll.
