Abstract
Oxide dust generated from the rolling process is a big problem for most rolling mills, especially those rolling high silicon or high carbon products. A system has been developed to effectively control the oxide dust from the rolling operations and is robust enough to change operating conditions to adjust to different rolling parameters. Effective control of the oxide dust significantly reduces maintenance time required to clean and/or repair equipment that becomes covered and prevent damage to electrical equipment, not to mention improves worker safety. The system utilizes an air and water mixture with specifically proportioned design to encapsulate and control dust particles without affecting cooling or quality of the rolled product. This paper will discuss the features of the system and follow several successful installations.
