Continuous Pickling Line (CPL) for Carbon Steel

Category: Solution

Using a continuous hydrochloric acid pickling process, the iron oxide layer on the surface of the hot-rolled strip is removed, and the irregular edges of the strip are cut off, providing qualified hot-rolled strip raw materials for the next process. The pickled strip has a pure iron surface and can be cold-rolled or hot-dip galvanized.

Details

  This line uses a continuous hydrochloric acid pickling process to remove the iron oxide layer from the surface of hot-rolled strip steel and trim irregular edges, providing qualified hot-rolled steel for subsequent processes. The pickled steel has a pure iron surface and can be used for cold rolling or hot-dip galvanizing processes.
 
   Features
  This continuous pickling line features an automatic argon arc welder and a descaling and straightening machine at the inlet. The process section uses a multi-stage shallow tank turbulent flow pickling process and a multi-stage water rinsing process. The outlet section includes a rotary shear and an electrostatic oiling machine.
