Reduced wear and tear on split ring
By reducing the wear and tear on the split ring, broken tail ends are eliminated. In Russula’s new design, the tail end control segments are completely enclosed so that the wear and tear on the split ring, the stationary component that goes around the TEC plate, is dramatically reduced, which in turn eliminates the rod slipping between the plates and destroying the tail ends. Rod mills that roll small-diameter products at high speeds struggle to consistently maintain a uniform gap between the tail end control segment plates and the split ring as time goes by.
Because the laying head segments are completely encapsulated in this new design, it prevents the wire rod from touching the split ring, reducing wear and tear. And because this wear and tear are reduced, the head and tail ends are prevented from finding the gap between the typical TEC plate and the split ring, which destroys tail ends and leads to head end cobbles. The “end” result: better performance, less downtime, and far simpler maintenance.
