Oiling of Steel Strip: A New, Intelligent Oiling Machine Combines Electrostatic Oiling With High-Precision Oil Film Measurement, Ensuring Higher Process Security and Lower Oil Consumption

The newly developed oiling machine by AMEPA, Danieli Germany and Limax ensures uniform oil application on metal strips while minimizing oil consumption. Integrated with an AMEPA in-line oil film measurement system, it promptly detects oiling issues like overoiling or dry stripes, allowing operators to take immediate action. This data integration enhances material efficiency and product quality. The machine’s reduced oil usage supports sustainable production of CO2-neutral steel coils. Its compact, modular design enables easy integration into existing production lines and adaptability to future needs, providing plant operators the flexibility to continuously optimize processes without significant capital investment.
