This technology is used mainly for the production of reinforcing bars, but successful applications exist also for round bar production. Without making major changes on mill layout, multi-slitting process enables to produce up to 4 bars starting from one billet. Danieli Morgårdshammar, world leader in the supply of rolling mills for long products, is a front-runner in slitting technology since its first applications. In order to grant a smooth start-up and increase the reliability of multi-slitting processes, in particular for four strand slitting, Danieli Morgårdshammar ha
