Shur-Lock composite rolls
are the industry's leading innovation for conventional bar mill rolls. As part of SinterMet's Solutions Engineering, Shur-Lock rolls help your mill experience:

  • Increased mill utilization by as much as 20 times     versus cast iron
  • Consistent, high-quality, in-tolerance product.
  • Reduced roll inventory.
  • Increased tons per groove.
  • Less time redressing.
  • Reduced scrap.
  • Lower rejection rates.
  • Consistent product size.

The bottom line…lower costs!

The Shur-Lock composite roll system provides increased product quality versus cast iron rolls. As rod or bar passes through the Shur-Lock composite roll it maintains a much more consistent shape and tolerance, while significantly reducing wear. The result is a better finished product.

MATERIAL GRADE SELECTION FOR ROLLING OPERATIONS

SinterMet offers the industry's broadest range of grades to satisfy the needs of your rolling operation. SinterMet will evaluate the mill parameters including the shape of the product being rolled, the speed of the rolling operation, cooling conditions, machining capabilities and reduction per stand to determine the optimum grade for your operation.
