Scale Breaker Print Version
Installation of an Andritz Scale Breaker will help you increase your production characteristics significantly. In fact you will be able to increase the pickling speed by approximately 30 %, repickling will practically no longer be necessary.

Scale Breaker Sundwig Scale Breaker with six bending units


Improved production characteristics after installation of scale breakers:

  • Practically no repickling
  • Approx. 30 % higher pickling speeds
  • Improvement of strip defects (cross bow, buckles, waves, camber)
  • Reduction of surface roughness (reduced shot blasting requirements)
  • No skin-pass (flat-pass) requirements before grinding
  • Decrease of electrode separation in electrolytic pickling section (increased pickling performance)
  • Improved evenness of shot blasting pattern (Sa 2.5)
  • Temper hardening of material is possible (CCS-continually cold stretched)
