ELECTROLYTIC CLEANING LINES

Compact processing lines for big gains in efficency

The Electrolytic Cleaning Lines (ECL) supplied by Clecim enable the removal of the remaining iron fines and oil residues from the tandem mill.

Advanced ECL technology provides outstanding strip cleanliness before the coils reach the downstream batch annealing furnace in order to obtain perfect surface cleanness. This type of line could also be used as coil build-up line. Modules such as payoff reel, shear, welder, cleaning section, etc. are common with galvanizing lines to maximize training/knowledge database and spares quantity between lines.
