  • Rolling mill roll-cleaning device and cleaning method
    Patent number: 9433986
    Abstract: Generation of cavitation jet in air on a surface of a work roll provides a higher cleaning force than squirting of only high pressure fluid, so that sticking substances on the surface of the work roll are reliably removable. When a distance between a cleaning nozzle and the surface of the work roll and pressure of the high pressure fluid are controlled within a predetermined range, sticking substances are efficiently removable while roughness of the surface of the work roll is maintained.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 15, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 6, 2016
    Assignees: NIPPON STEEL & SUMIKIN ENGINEERING CO., LTD., NS PLANT DESIGNING CORPORATION
