Rolling Mills
Supporting rolling mills with industrial braking, strip tension control, hydraulic filtration, and fluid management for metal processing and finishing operations.
Equipment Used Throughout Metal Rolling and Processing Operations
Rolling mills utilize some of the largest and most demanding mechanical systems found in manufacturing. Mill stands, coilers, uncoilers, tension reels, gearboxes, hydraulic automatic gauge control systems, strip handling equipment, and auxiliary drives must operate together to maintain product quality, production rates, and process stability throughout the rolling process.
Hilliard and HILCO products are applied throughout rolling mill environments where braking, hydraulic control, lubrication management, and rotating equipment operation are essential to production.
