Depending on requirements, it is
possible to produce steel strip in
thicknesses of 0.12 to 0.6 mm
and widths of 500 to 1,250 mm
in various types of finish. Just like
electrolytic galvanization, tin
plating can provide all the tin
layer thicknesses necessary for
the various applications, either
with equal or different thicknesses on the two strip sides. The
range of plating weights is 1.1 to

arate rectifiers make it possible to plate the strip differently at the same time.
Loop accumulators
Tension leveler
SMS Demag
manufactures
tension levelers for
single- and doublereduced material. They
ensure excellent strip flatness
through the arrangement of the
bending and leveling units.
Arranged in cassette form, the
bending and leveling units can
be changed quickly during operation. Moreover, there are bridle
roll sets with a compact drive in
front of and behind the tension
leveler, which increase and decrease the tension of the strip.
Side trimmer
Recommended for rapid width
and program changing as well
as blade changing during operation is a set of rotary side
trimmer with two pairs of knife
heads.

Tinning section
Now the pretreated strip is introduced into a vertical tinning
section. SMS Demag is expert
in applying the technology for
tinning processes using soluble
anodes for Ferrostan,
fluoborate and methane sulfone
electrolytes. The anodes can be
handled manually or with an automated anode shifting device.
Ideal for ultrathin plating is the
parallel anode arrangement
SMS Demag builds. This

Reflow unit
To achieve a shiny surface the
layer of tin is melted on, which
also affects the iron-tin alloy
layer.
Melting is performed with electric current in one of two ways,
or using a combination of both:
Resistance melting
Inductive melting

Instrument stand
Now available are a strip thickness measuring device and a
hole searching device to check
and ensure an excellent surface
quality. This is achieved, even at
high process speeds, thanks to
the automatic surface
inspection system. Added to
this is a camera system
installed along the inspection
route.
Posttreatment
To protect the tinned surface,
the strip is treated electrolytically or in an immersion
