In the precision cold rolling of aluminium strips, heating up the side areas of the work roll barrels is critical to prevent the “tight edge” phenomenon—a localized increase in strip edge thickness and hardness caused by excessive heat loss at the roll ends. This defect leads to poor flatness, edge cracking, and significant yield loss in high-value products.
Metals-Tech’s Electromagnetic Work Roll Heating System with our partners provides an advanced, targeted solution to this persistent challenge. Unlike hot edge spray method, our system utilizes precisely controlled electromagnetic induction to apply direct, localized heat to the work roll barrels, with a focus on maintaining optimal thermal crown—especially at the critical roll edges.By integrating this innovative system, aluminium producers can dramatically reduce edge-related scrap, expand the operational window for challenging alloys and gauges, and achieve a new level of thickness consistency and strip shape—directly translating to higher yield, reduced finishing costs, and entry into more demanding market segments.
Cui Yan, CEO of Innomotics China and CEO of Innomotics Global Low Voltage Motor Division; Jin Yibin, Vice President of Innomotics and General Manager of East China Region; Shan Yajuan, Vice President of Innomotics and General Manager of Medium Voltage Drives & High Voltage Motors Division; Zhao Lixia, General Manager of Innomotics Industry Business; along with Li Chenshuo, Sales Director of Metals-Tech; Wang Dongzhen, Chairman of Anhui Shunbo; Xia Yueyun, General Manager of Anhui Shunbo; and Jiang Yuanjun, Deputy General Manager of Anhui Shunbo, attended the ceremony and witnessed the signing. Hou Yiwei, Vice President of Innomotics and General Manager of North China Region, and Li Chenshuo, Sales Director of Metals-Tech, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective companies. Through this collaboration, both parties will jointly promote the intelligent upgrade of the main drive system for Shunbo's aluminum hot strip mill, enhancing production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, both sides will actively explore new cooperation models, broaden the scope of collaboration, and jointly expand into broader market opportunities. Photo/Article: Innomotics
