A horizontal accumulator is a crucial component in a tube mill line, designed to ensure a continuous and uninterrupted supply of steel strip to the forming process. It acts as a buffer between the coil feeding system and the tube mill, compensating for variations in strip delivery speed and allowing for smooth operation during coil changes.
Key Functions of a Horizontal Accumulator:
1. Continuous Strip Supply: It stores excess strip material during periods of high production and releases it during slower periods, maintaining a steady flow of material to the tube mill.
2. Coil Changeover: It enables seamless coil changeovers by temporarily storing strip, allowing for the replacement of depleted coils without interrupting the tube mill's operation.
3. Speed Compensation: It helps to compensate for variations in the speed of the coil feeding system and the tube mill, ensuring a synchronized material flow.
4. Strip Tension Control: It maintains optimal strip tension, preventing excessive stress and ensuring accurate forming.
