The extension of the range of rolled products and assurance of the strip high quality require the utilization of the working stands with high reduction capacity.
Heavy-duty working stands with the rolling force up to 100,000 kN and rolling torque up to 6000 kNm were manufactured at NKMZ.

To reduce the slabs up to 150 mm in width and to form the workpiece edges a vertical roll stand fitted with the rolls with grooves and hydraulic screw-down mechanisms were developed and constructed at NKMZ.
A special feature of the stand construction is also the unconventional arrangement of the work rolls drive with the hollow output shafts that gives a considerable gain in the stand height clearance as compared with the conventional drive.

| Rolling force, kN | 10000 |
| Rolling torque, max, kNm | 3500 |
| Rolling speed, m/sec | до 5 |
| Roll barrel diameter, mm | 2000 |
| - effective, mm | 1400 |
| Maximum reduction, mm | до 150 |
The high dimensional accuracy through cross and longitudinal sections of strips and plates, the optimal shape are obtained both in working stands and in the mill by means of the modern facilities and automatic control systems developed by NKMZ in close cooperation with leading scientific and research institutes of the Ukraine and Russia using modern technologies and automated control system.

Among these are a hydraulic screwdown mechanism, counter-bending and auxiliary bending systems, systems for axial shift and thermal cambering of work rolls, crossing of work and backup rolls, a "water curtain" type laminar cooling system on the run-out roller table with appropriate systems for controlling process variables.

In addition to the hydraulic bending of work rolls and in conjunction with it to influence the strip shape more efficiently we suggest a thermal cambering system, which contains quick-acting shut-off valves providing a prompt control of cooling nozzles and a discrete influence on the work roll profile. |

The work roll shift system
provides a high quality of the strip surface, a possibility to perform a program-free rolling, reduces the number of roll changes.
The crossing, counter-bending and auxiliary bending systems influence greatly a strip cross section.
|
Shift range: ±10% of roll barrel lenght.
Crossing range ±1%.

NKMZ spindle arrangements are characterized by:
The convenience in using our rolling mills is also obtained by means of mechanization of auxiliary production operations such as changing of work and backup rolls, banding and marking of coils, sampling, assembly and disassembly of bearings for rolls. The roll-changing device provides:
| Roll changing period: | |
| -work rolls, min | 6 - 8 |
| -work and backup rolls, min | 40 - 50 |
|
The hydraulic descaler for the secondary scale removal
is set before the finishing mill group. Unlike conventional designs in the descaler there is made a provision for the mechanized whetting out of the headers which allows to take care of sprays and change the headers as complete units in the process of mill operation.
The descalers provide:
