Vertical & Horizontal Loopers
Features:
- Vertical loopers move hot steel bars around the steel rolling mill vertically, generally in an upwards position.
- It is employed to raise the hot steel bars to an elevated position from a lower one. These bars can then cool and straighten to receive their final shaping.
- They are used in steel mills where hot steel bars need vertical motion, like mills with rolling stands in operation.
- Horizontal loopers, they transport the hot steel bar from one side to the other of the steel mill horizontally.
- They are used when hot steel bars must move through numerous processing stations.
