Name of the Project 
Impol Seval aluminium hot-rolling mill project.

Location
Serbia, in Russia.

Client
Impol Seval Valjaonica Aluminijuma Sevojno.

Project Description
The project involves a comprehensive revamp of the aluminium hot-rolling mill to increase production markedly and improve the quality of the rolled strips with regard to thickness and shape tolerances.

The integration of the entry-side coiler into the production process will enable the plant to work with three coiling passes rather than only one, which will enhance efficiency of the mill.

To enable the mill to also roll large ingots, the entry and exit sections will be completely rebuilt. The positions of both coilers will be shifted and raised to allow for larger coil diameters to be wound. On both sides, the belt wrappers, pinch rolls and side guards will be renewed and adapted. At the exit end, a new trimming shear will be installed. It will be coordinated with the higher exit speed resulting from the reduced final gage of 3.5 mm.

Latest Developments
SMS Group has been awarded the contract for the comprehensive revamp of the aluminium hot-rolling mill. The company’s scope of supply will include a new X-ray measuring unit, which will continuously measure the strip gage and shape over the strip width. The measured data will be used as the input variables for the technological control systems.
