Backup Roll Maintenance Guide

Cold Rolling Strip Mill Rolls – forged rolls (5)

MAINTENANCE CATEGORIES
Backup roll maintenance is categorized into daily, regular, and special case processing. Daily maintenance includes surface cleaning, lubrication system checks, and operational monitoring. Regular maintenance encompasses disassembly inspection, precision testing, surface treatment, and adjustments. Special case handling covers emergency shutdowns and long-term storage maintenance. Operator training remains essential across all categories.

DAILY MAINTENANCE

Surface Cleaning

  • Remove accumulated metal chips, oil stains, and dust using specialized cleaning agents

  • Utilize appropriate tools (brushes, cloths) to maintain surface cleanliness

  • Prevent surface quality degradation and reduce roll wear

Lubrication System Inspection

  • Monitor oil levels, temperature, and pressure parameters regularly

  • Verify lubricant quality and sufficient supply

  • Check for oil leaks, pipe blockages, and address issues promptly

Operational Monitoring

  • Track operational sounds, vibration patterns, and temperature changes

  • Identify abnormalities indicating potential failures (bearing damage, uneven wear)

  • Implement immediate shutdown and inspection when abnormalities occur

REGULAR MAINTENANCE

Disassembly Inspection

  • Follow manufacturer recommendations and operational guidelines

  • Examine roll body for cracks, wear, and deformation

  • Assess roller surface wear patterns

  • Inspect bearings and seals for wear, replacing damaged components

Precision Testing and Adjustment

  • Measure diameter, cylindricity, and straightness using precision instruments

  • Utilize calipers, dial indicators for accurate measurements

  • Perform adjustments when parameters exceed tolerance ranges

Surface Treatment

  • Address surface oxidation and corrosion issues

  • Apply surface treatments (chrome plating, nickel plating) as required

  • Enhance surface hardness, finish quality, and corrosion resistance

SPECIAL CASE HANDLING

Emergency Shutdown Procedures

  • Immediate shutdown for severe vibration, abnormal noises, or smoke

  • Comprehensive inspection of rolls and related equipment

  • Identify root causes before restarting operations

  • Prevent further damage through proper diagnosis

Long-Term Storage Maintenance

  • Implement thorough cleaning and rust prevention measures

  • Apply anti-rust oil to roll surfaces

  • Use plastic film or oil paper for protective wrapping

  • Rotate rolls periodically to prevent bearing seizure

OPERATOR TRAINING

Skill Development

  • Regular training on roll structure, working principles, and operational procedures

  • emphasize proper operating methods and precautions

  • Prevent equipment damage through correct operation

Maintenance Awareness

  • Promote importance of maintenance through training programs

  • Encourage proactive problem identification and reporting

  • Foster team-wide participation in maintenance culture
