What Is A Tandem Mill?

Tandem Mill

A tandem mill is a type of rolling mill used in the steel industry to reduce the thickness of steel by passing it through multiple stands in a continuous process. Each stand in the tandem mill is equipped with work rolls that apply compressive force to the steel, progressively reducing its thickness as it moves from one stand to the next. This setup allows for high production rates and consistent quality. Tandem mills can be utilized for both hot and cold rolling.
