The ingot scalpers are installed upstream of the hot rolling mill. They remove the oxide skin as well as any metallurgical impurities from the surface of the ingots. Scalping the edges reduces the amount of trimming scrap generated in the subsequent hot rolling process and keeps the work rolls clean. Another impressive feature of our ingot scalping machines is their high rigidity. That guarantees the best surface qualities right down to micron level – even on hard aluminum alloys.

Designs:

• Single-head ingot scalping machines with turntable for machining ingots in horizontal position
• Combined edge and surface scalping devices for simultaneous horizontal scalping of main surfaces and edges
• Two side-mounted milling heads for machining ingots in vertical position
