Maximum productivity with minimum energy and acid consumption

X-Pact® Turbulence Pickling Model is designed to meet the evolving requirements for higher quality in the pickling process while reducing energy and acid consumption. It enables flexible pickling of any desired coil sequence, dynamically controlling all relevant technological setpoints to achieve maximum throughput. 

This model relieves operators from time-consuming and error-prone tasks, optimizing the order of strips to significantly save energy and resources and reducing both maintenance and operating costs.

Customer challenges adressed

  • Maximizing productivity without compromising quality
  • Balance between high strip speed and sufficient immersion time to prevent residual scale on the surface
  • Preventing excessive immersion to minimize material loss and unnecessary acid consumption
  • Optimization of production order to save energy and resources
  • Flexibility in pickling coil sequences

Key features

  • Dynamic control of technological setpoints to achieve high product quality at maximum throughput
  • Optimized coil transitions and reduction of over-pickling
  • After ensuring productivity and quality, the model seeks to reduce energy
  • Continuous improvements with plans for a modular pickling system offering variable adjustments to pickling parameters

Highlights

  • Model-based calculation of setup values

    The pickling model enables flexible pickling of any desired coil sequence. It dynamically controls all relevant technological setpoints so that high product quality is achieved at maximum throughput. The process conditions are controlled concerning each strip segemnt’s requirements. The operators are relieved from time consuming and error prone tasks. 

    The production order module optimizes the order of strips. This optimization leads to significant savings in energy and resource consumption.
