-Introduction of Equipment
Lead Strip Caster
It is a high efficient auto-production line for lead strip manufacturig. It can work continuously for 24 hours and its productivity is up to 2 tons per hour. With high degree of auto control and man-machine interaction, dynamic monitoring to the machine is realized. The encoders are equipped on main motors so that the equipment speed of whole production line will match with each other. Each machine can be single controlled or linkage controlled to ensure simple installation, debugging & maintenance. The sensors on key parts will ensure timely information feedback so that a continuous production and equipment & personal safety can be guaranteed.
Main Structure
1.1.1 Lead Supply System: This system includes hogs feeding machine & melting furnace. Melting furnace is for alloy hogs melting. 1.1.2 Caster: this machine adopts steel belt sealing and cast wheel casting structure. The lead liquid will be sealed by steel belt to prevent overflow after it flows into groove of cast wheel. At the same time, it will be cooled down by air cooling and water cooling mechanism inside & outside the wheel, then the lead plate with uniform thickness will be formed. PLC and closed-loop system composed by a series of shut off Valve & regulator valve will ensure a sustained and steady high quality lead strip casting.
1.1.3 Horizontal Cutting Machine: normally, horizontal cutting will be started at the beginning & ending of each casting process. In case of an emergent situation, if rolling needs to be stopped for a limited time, casting process will not stop thanks to horizontal cutting. The machine has two cutting mode: Manual/Auto.
1.1.4 Rolling Stands: this machine has seven double-shaft rolling unit (6+1 type), the first 6 rolling stands were driven by an independent motor. The machine can be started via console at caster. There are four types of working mode to meet maintenance & production requirement.
1.1.5 Dryer: the function of this machine is to eliminate emulsion liquid residue on the surface of lead strip by strong air flow. Without moisture and oil, the strip quality can be assured even if it has been stored for long time.
1.1.6 Trimming Machine: the lead strip will be cut into required width by this machine, its scrap was also cut and sent back to furnace. Belt broken device are equipped on this machine. In case of a winder failure, emergency processing will be will carried out by the device.
1.1.7 Auto-Winder: this machine includes two sets of independent winding unit which will continuously wind up the lead strip into a roll , after that, the roll was unloaded and stored by an unloading device. The switching, conveying and winding of lead strip are all auto controlled. Alternating between winding machines is controlled by the program automatically to ensure a continuous production of the whole production line.
1.1.8 Electric Control System: the full-automatic control system consists of following components: programmable controller (PLC) and man-machine interface as central control component, inverter, servo motor, pneumatic system as executive component, approach switch and speed detector.

A. Vertical Double Decoiler:
Decoiler with two mandrels witch permits to the operator to load the new strip reel meanwhile the line is working.
• Max weight: 1000 kg + 1000kg.
• Electrohydraulic expansion of the spindle.
•Manual turret rotation; • Loop control.
B. Welding Strip Machine:
This station permits to the line operator to safely and certain weld together the tail of one coil with the head of a new coil thereby eliminating line down time due to strip reel changeover. The operation is straight forward through the use of cold welding of two parts. The station is supplied with all necessary controls for a safe, constant and reliable operation. It is composed principally of the following parts:
• Chassis Made by aluminium profiles where are installed all the system equipment of the machine. In the rear part there is the slot for a scraps cassette. While on the left side there is a large shelf to store the tools needed.
