KOCKS Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB®)
A Reducing & Sizing Block of KOCKS is the industry standard when discussing 3-roll technology for wire rod & bar sizing.
When deciding to invest for a better performance in the future, choosing a reliable partner and the best-proven technology, exactly tailored to individual requirements, plays a crucial role. The RSB® in 5.0 design represents the fifth and current generation of Reducing & Sizing Blocks by KOCKS.
The blocks are engineered for perfection, aiming to transform rolling processes by delivering unmatched precision and superior quality. The high availability of the rolling mill is achieved through the close interaction between the intelligent and proven machine design of the KOCKS RSB® and the superior process engineering features of the unique 3-roll technology. The RSB® in 5.0 design is available in different sizes and comes with the unique 3-roll stands and guides, proven technology and modern software.

KOCKS Stretch Reducing Blocks (SRB®)
Not only for the recent generation of Stretch Reducing Blocks (SRB® 3.0) KOCKS’ engineers have received tremendous trust from customers and partners from all over the world. Many of the ideas and inventions for the SRB® generations were born in close cooperation with valuable customers. Jointly with them, KOCKS made ingenious solutions an integral part of this industry.
The latest generation of the Stretch Reducing Block (SRB®) is characterized by an even more compact design. KOCKS continues to rely on the proven StarDrive concept, which ensures individual drive of the rolls in the 3-roll stands on all stand positions of the SRB®. This proven combination of strong and precise core components a highly dynamic drive enables tube mills to produce seamless steel tubes of the highest quality.
Key Features:
1“ - 16“ finished tube size
100% quality achievement by remote control
Up to 70% roll stand inventory reduction
Sophisticated software package

KOCKS Cooling Solutions
Rolling temperatures have a decisive impact on the microstructure formation of the finished product and its respective mechanical properties. The KOCKS TMR process allows the unique treatment of long products under controlled conditions. Optimizing the control of these temperatures can yield significant cost savings by either reducing alloy elements and/or downstream heat treatment processes. Although, numerous improvements have taken place over the years, KOCKS sets in many aspects a new milestone in the thermomechanical processing of long products.
The reliable water boxes allow the achievement of a precise bar temperature along the rolled stock, which directly results in a homogeneous microstructure over the bar circumference and length. A core component is the advanced cooling nozzle design, which results in an improved cooling process and precise control of the temperature drop and a reduction in water consumption. The cooling process is supported by a state-of-the-art automation system that allows fast manual or fully automatic adjustments of each individual cooling nozzle. The fastest reaction times of the individual process valves allow highly dynamic cooling strategies. This provides rolling mill operators with the best solution for pursuing the objective of obtaining specified product microstructures and mechanical-technological properties.
Highlights
