Hot Rolling Mills
Laying Head
Precision high-speed laying heads engineered for uniform ring formation in wire rod finishing lines.
Overview
Uniform ring formation at high speeds
Our laying heads form the hot wire rod into uniform rings on the Stelmor conveyor for controlled cooling. Built with hardened pipe inserts, balanced rotors and robust bearings to deliver consistent ring geometry at speeds up to 120 m/s — essential for downstream coil quality.
- High-speed operation up to 120 m/s
- Uniform ring formation
- Hardened, replaceable pipe insert
- Dynamically balanced rotor
- Long service life under thermal load
