ROLLING MILL ROLL-CLEANING DEVICE AND CLEANING METHOD

摘要

Generation of cavitation jet in air on a surface of a work roll provides a higher cleaning force than squirting of only high pressure fluid, so that sticking substances on the surface of the work roll are reliably removable. When a distance between a cleaning nozzle and the surface of the work roll and pressure of the high pressure fluid are controlled within a predetermined range, sticking substances are efficiently removable while roughness of the surface of the work roll is maintained.
