To CSWA Cold Rolling Co., Ltd.

Herr-Voss Stamco® participated in a contract signing for a High Speed Aluminum Slitting Line at China Southwest Aluminum Cold Rolling Co., Ltd. to be part of a new cold tandem mill facility with annual output of 250,000 metric tonnes of aluminum products at its XiPeng, Chongqing, P.R. China location.

The Slitting Line is designed to uncoil, slit and recoil 0.1 mm to 1.0 mm thick x 1800 mm wide with a coil capacity of 22,500 kg. The slit product is 1000, 3000, 5000 and 8000 series aluminum alloy coils. The line is capable of up to 41 cuts at 800 m/min.

According to Jason Cuff, Regional Sales Manager at Herr-Voss Stamco, “the high-tech line will be part of the new cold tandem mill complex and link directly to the customer’s hi-bay coil storage system.” The line includes features such as quick change mandrels, two quick change precision slitter heads complete with an off line rotating set-up stand. It also features a Synchro-Wind™ tension stand with servo traverse that maintains the relative position of the tension device to the coil O.D. during build-up for optimum side wall performance. We have designed the tension stand with the ability to add a second injector Synchro-Wind head in the future to allow the customer to quickly change between dry and oily materials. This line also includes a belt wrapper for use when side trimming only.

Herr-Voss Stamco® is pleased to continue its long standing relationship with CSWA Cold Rolling Co., Ltd., one of the largest and most advanced aluminum processors in China.

CSWA is wholly owned by Chinalco, the world’s 3rd largest Aluminum manufacturer.
