Rolling metal foil

Our Rolling mill can handle material up to 5" wide and can roll down to as thin as 0.1mm.

What is a Rolling Mill?

A rolling mill is a specialised piece of industrial equipment used to shape and transform metal by passing it through one or more pairs of heavy rollers. This process is called rolling, and it is fundamental in metalworking, particularly in the production of sheets, strips, bars, and structural shapes.

Key Uses of a Rolling Mill

Thickness Reduction:

  • Rolling mills reduce the thickness of metal sheets, plates, or foils to achieve desired dimensions.

  • Ideal for creating ultra-thin foils used in electronics and decorative applications.

Shaping Metal:

  • Used to shape metals into specific profiles, such as bars, rods, beams, or structural components.

  • Common in construction and industrial applications.

Surface Improvement:

  • Produces smooth, uniform surfaces by compressing and reshaping the material.

  • Enhances the appearance and quality of finished products.

Metal Hardening:

  • Cold rolling processes can strain-harden metals, increasing their strength and durability.

  • Common in industries like aerospace and automotive.

Producing Metal Foils:

  • Precision rolling mills create ultra-thin sheets of metal used in industries like electronics and aerospace.

  • Materials like aluminium, copper, and brass are commonly processed into foils.
