Rolling mill stands
Universal · housingless · conventional
Rigidity you can measure. Roll changes you barely notice.
Tolerances are won or lost in the stand.
Basket Technology® · MWE Mill Solutions GmbH
Every bar takes its final shape between two rolls held in position by the stand. If the stand gives way under load, the roll gap opens and the tolerance goes with it.
Our housingless two-high stands carry the rolling load in a compact, rigid unit. Using Basket Technology®, the mill changes a complete roll unit in one piece, so the next size starts sooner. Horizontal, vertical or convertible H/V stands, universal stands for sections and breakdown stands for heavy first passes are designed with MWE and manufactured in Izmir.

How a rolling mill stand works
Two rolls, held in place by a lot of steel.
- 1RollsThe grooves give the bar its shape; the gap between the rolls gives it its size.
- 2ChocksCarry the roll bearings and the rolling load.
- 3Tie rodsHold the housingless stand together instead of a heavy housing.
- 4Gap adjustmentTurns the tie rods, with left- and right-hand threads, so both rolls move symmetrically about the pass line.
- 5BaseCarries the stand in the line and locates the roll unit.
Field note
The fastest roll change is the one that was prepared yesterday, in the roll shop.
