The Butech Bliss Stretcher Leveler CTL Line:
The stretch leveler cut-to-length line is designed to correct shape and relieve stress from flat rolled steel coils and to cut the steel into sheet to the specified length. The leveling process occurs first. As the coil is unwound it travels over a set of rolls which bends the steel over beyond its yield point. The stretching process which, as the name implies removes stress by stretching the metal. Shape problems include both sweep and snake camber (one side is longer than the other side), edge wave, center buckle and crossbow. The leveling process corrects shape and conditions the metal for further shape correction and stress relief through the stretching process.
The stretch leveler has non marking grippers with removable media change sheets, a shear knife cartridge system, and a double decker rolling system.
The Butech Bliss Stretch leveler cut-to-length process consists of the following:
• A coil car that holds 4 coils for processing and two restock coils. Coils are loaded onto the coil car by overhead crane. The coil car transports the coil to the uncoiler.
• The uncoiler consists of two motor drive expandable mandrels that fit in the inside diameter of the coil or two motorized cones or a hybrid consisting of a cone over mandrel. The uncoiler sins the steel col for the purpose of feeding it through the line.
• A breaker roll rides on and applies pressure on the outboard side of the coil as it pays off the coil. Its purpose is to prevent or minimize coil breaks.
• Pinch rolls - grab the steel sheet for guiding it into the lever.
• Leveler is comprised of sets of rolls ranging from larger to smaller diameter situated in a cassette. The primary rolls are backed up by sets of secondary (back-up) rolls that exert pressure on the primary rolls. The steel strip is bent around the rolls beyond its yield point. This process corrects shape problems such as edge wave, crossbow etc.
• Next in line is the crop shear used to square up the leading edge of the strip.
• The stretcher consists of a fixed stantion and a movable stantion that are approximately 50 feet apart. The steel strip is held tight by grippers under the stations. The moveable station slides away from the fixed station, thus stretching the steel strip. This relives any remaining stress and center buckle in the strip making it flat and capable of being processers by other cutting processes such as laser, plasma or water jet cutters without warp.
• The cutoff shear slices the strip to the specified length.
As strips are cut to length they are lowered onto the packaging line. There is an in-line weigh scale at the end of the line used to weigh finished sheet bundles.
