Flattener Leveling Machine

2. Main Functions

• Stress Relief and Flatness Correction: Multiple staggered upper and lower leveling rolls apply alternating bending force to plastically deform the strip and eliminate residual stress.

• Improved Plate Shape: Enhances flatness of the strip surface, ensuring proper alignment and forming precision in the downstream process.

• Stable Strip Feeding: Operates in sync with the entire production line, ensuring smooth and continuous feeding of the material.

3. Machine Structure

• Leveling Roll System: Composed of multiple high-strength alloy steel rolls that are heat-treated and precisely machined for high wear resistance and rigidity.

• Backup Roll and Frame: Backup rolls support the leveling rolls to prevent deflection, ensuring long-term stability.

• Adjustment System: Manual, electric, or hydraulic gap adjustment systems to accommodate various strip thicknesses and material grades.

• Drive System: Powered by motor and gearbox for smooth transmission and sufficient torque.

• Entry & Exit Guides: Ensure smooth strip entry and exit, preventing scratches or misalignment.

4. Technical Parameters (Example Configuration)

Note: Specifications can be customized based on the pipe size, material type, and line layout.

5. Application Note

After uncoiling, the strip often exhibits defects such as edge waves, center buckles, or internal stress. These will negatively affect forming accuracy, weld seam alignment, and even weld integrity. The leveling machine provides continuous high-precision correction, ensuring the strip enters the forming section with optimal flatness and uniformity, thus playing a crucial role in consistent and high-quality pipe production.
