MINO is particularly proud of the long term partnership with Laminazione Sottile, the extent of which now covers nearly 40 years. This relationship is evident by the contract awards given to MINO in hot, cold and foil rolling mills which show a deep level of cooperation and technical trust between the two Companies.
The new Foil Finishing Mill has high-speed rolling potential and will display the latest MINO mill stand design concepts. On-line strip doubling and a number of electro/mechanical solutions allow for tension control at reels over an extremely broad range of material specifications. Complimenting the mill stand are automatic spool transfer devices, a side trimmer and state-of-the-art sensors & instruments.
As with all new MINO mills, the ‘Avanti’ advanced AGC/AFC system controls flatness and thickness of rolled strip. AC motors & drives provide low maintenance, flexible control of speed and torque.
The Mill’s design and automation system is developed in compliance with the Industry 4.0 guidelines, such as advanced process control and monitoring systems, friendly man/machine interface, interactions between different machines, intelligent maintenance system, remote diagnostics. All systems will be designed and supplied by MINO from within MINO’s Automation Division
A key objective within the electrical and automation systems is to achieve high percentage in the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) levels and to optimise the equipment reliability and operational safety.
