Electric Cone Rolling Machine

We are a specialized manufacturer of cone rolling machines with more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Today, we would like to introduce the application areas of cone rolling machine to you:

Cone rolling machine is a kind of mechanical equipment specialized in rolling sheet metal into tapered workpieces. Its working principle is mainly based on the three-point bending molding technology, which gradually deforms the flat sheet into the desired tapered structure through the relative movement of the roll shafts and the progressive pressure on the sheet metal.

With its excellent plate bending and molding ability, the Cone Rolling Machine can efficiently process all kinds of plates into tapered parts and other diversified part configurations, showing a wide range of applications in many industries, specifically covering the following areas:

Core applications in the petrochemical industry:

In the petrochemical industry, cone rolling machines are key equipment for manufacturing pressure vessels and storage tanks. The tapered tops of large petroleum storage tanks, the tapered heads of chemical reactors, and the tapered components of various types of separators all require high-precision rolled taper technology to complete. These components often work in high pressure, high temperature or corrosive environments, which place high demands on molding quality and weld integrity.

Taking the hydrogenation reactor as an example, its conical transition section needs to withstand an operating pressure of up to 20MPa and a high temperature of over 400℃. By precisely controlling the molding curve, the cone rolling machine ensures uniform thickness and reasonable stress distribution during the deformation process, thus meeting the safety requirements under extreme working conditions. At the same time, the trend of large-scale petrochemical equipment also puts forward new challenges to the cone rolling machine, modern large cone rolling machine has been able to process the diameter of more than 10 meters, the thickness of 150mm heavy cone, for the localization of ultra-large petrochemical equipment to provide technical support.

Power and energy equipment manufacturing:

In the power industry, especially in the nuclear and wind power sectors, taper rolling machines play a pivotal role. Key components such as containment liners for nuclear power plants, tapered transition sections for steam generators, and tapered sections of tower tubes for wind turbines require the taper roll process to ensure their strict dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties.

Nuclear power equipment requires extremely high safety. Take the lower head of steam generator of pressurized water reactor nuclear power plant as an example, its conical part connects the cylindrical shell and tube plate, which has a complex shape and is subjected to huge temperature and mechanical stresses. The rolled cone machine ensures that this key component does not produce defects such as microcracks during the molding process through a multi-pass progressive molding process, and that the material properties are not degraded due to cold work hardening. In the field of wind power, with the large-scale unit, the tower diameter is increasing, and the segmented conical tower has become the mainstream design. Cone rollers can efficiently complete the precise molding of these large diameter thin-walled cones, which provides process security for the wind power industry to reduce costs and improve reliability.

Precision applications in the aerospace and military industries:

The lightweight and high-strength requirements for components in the aerospace field have led to special attention being paid to cone-rolling technology in this industry. Key components such as intake cones for aircraft engines, nozzle transition sections for rocket engines, and end caps for satellite fuel storage tanks all require high-precision taper technology to manufacture.

These aerospace components are often made of difficult-to-machine materials such as titanium alloys, high-strength aluminum alloys, or composite materials with thin wall thicknesses and extremely high requirements for shape accuracy. Modern CNC roll cone machine through the precise path control and strength adjustment, can realize these special materials without damage to the molding. To a certain aircraft engine intake cone, for example, which uses 2mm thick titanium alloy plate, cone angle tolerance control requirements within ± 0.05°, the surface does not allow any indentation. By optimizing the roll curve and adopting progressive forming process, the special cone rolling machine perfectly meets these demanding requirements. In the military field, key components such as tapered pressure-resistant housings for submarines and transition sections for missile launch tubes also rely on taper roll technology, and these applications often involve the forming of special metals and special subsequent heat treatment processes.

A wide range of applications for architectural decoration and general machinery:

In the field of building decoration, cone rolling machines offer a wealth of modeling possibilities for modern architecture. Center columns for spiral staircases, decorative cones for large venues, and support structures for shaped curtain walls can all be realized with rolled cone technology. These applications usually pay more attention to appearance effects and dimensional suitability, and place high demands on surface quality and shape accuracy after molding.

The field of general machinery is another important application scenario for cone-rolling technology. Components such as transition funnels for various types of conveying equipment, conical housings for separation machinery, and deflector cones for mixers all require customized conical structures tailored to specific functional requirements. The flexibility of the cone rolling machine allows it to adapt to these diverse needs, from small precision conical parts to large industrial cones, with high efficiency. Especially in food machinery and pharmaceutical equipment, the seamless forming technology of stainless steel conical parts meets the special requirements of these industries with regard to hygiene standards and ease of cleaning.
