Acme coil grinding systems are used to grind, polish and hairline finish hot and cold-rolled stainless steel coil and sheets. Multiple-head systems are designed to perform top and bottom finishing operations at up to 164 ft. (50m) per minute. Acme has in-house design and manufacturing capabilities for turnkey systems (including stock handling, in-process gaging, and filtration equipment), with an installed base of systems that spans the globe.

Typical Coil Grinding System

Stainless Steel Sheets and Coil:

• Hot Rolled: 2.0mm to 6.0mm
• Cold Rolled: 0.3mm to 2.0mm

Finishing processes, with line speeds of 3 to 50 meters per minute, include:

• Corrective grinding
• Salvage grinding
• Hairline finishing
• Decorative grinding: #3 & #4 SS Finishes
