FEED ROLL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A feed roll and stripper assembly (3, 4) for a rolling mill comprises at least one feed roll (25, 28) at each of an entry side and an exit side of a pair of work rolls (21, 22) and a stripper (26, 27) at each of the entry and exit side of the pair of work rolls. Each stripper comprises a stripper tip (40, 41). At least one of the strippers (26, 27) and the feed rolls (25, 28) are adapted to have an adjustable vertical separation (30, 31, 32, 33) from one of the work rolls (21), according to the direction of movement of material through the work rolls. The vertical separation (30, 31) of the at least one of the strippers and the feed rolls from one of the work rolls on one of the entry and exit side is different from the vertical separation (33, 32) of the other of the at least one of the strippers and the feed rolls on the other of the entry and exit side. Each stripper tip (40, 41) has a separation (42, 43) from the one of the work rolls (21, 22).
