Twin channel is used to collect the TMT bars exiting the Quenching boxes after being cropped by the Flying Shear. These channels comprise of CI central box and C-type CI channels, which are suspended from a longitudinal structural. The closed C-type channels ensure highest-level safety during the operation. This is an exceptional arrangement as the bar is carried in the close channel, minimizing the risk of accident. It is the most desirable feature in a high-speed rolling system.
When the material comes to a standstill position then the twin channel discharges the bars onto the bed below automatically. Twin channels are available for max 40mm bar sizes and the for stock speeds as high as 30 mps.
Twin Channel is an exceptionally well designed system and is extremely necessary as it carries the bar in a closed channel, minimizing the risk of accidents, especially while carrying out high speed rolling. It is designed in such a way as to work in conjunction with braking pinch rolls, minimizing the length of run-in. The operations are automated and are guided by the discharge of the rods from dividing shear. The maintenance cost is drastically reduced due to the innovative idea for cast iron center boxes.
