In a high-speed Cold Rolling Mill (CRM), the Bridle Roll is the unsung hero of tension control. But when its surface coating fails, it becomes a major headache.
Worn bridle rolls lead to two critical problems for Maintenance and Production teams:
1️⃣ Slippage: Loss of tension control, leading to process instability.
2️⃣ Pick-up: Material transferring to the roll face, creating dents and defects on your final strip surface.
At Plasma Spray Processors (PSP), we don't just coat rolls; we engineer the surface friction crucial for your process.
Using state-of-the-art robotic HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) technology, we apply dense Tungsten Carbide coatings specifically designed for the demands of steel CRMs.
Why PSP Bridle Roll coatings last longer:
✅ Controlled Friction: Our robotic application ensures a uniform surface texture that maintains precise tension without damaging the strip.
✅ Extreme Wear Resistance: High hardness (approx. 1100-1300 HV) prevents premature wear and pick-up.
✅ Thermal Stability: Engineered to perform consistently even at temperatures up to 500 Degree Celsius.
Don’t let a worn roll face dictate your shutdown schedule.
