After 20 years of service, several factors such as operating wear
and tear and corrosion begin to affect the mill tandem.
Fives Cail has developed an on-site refurbishment process which
restores the performance and reliability of the mills, whether
self-setting or conventional, by returning them to an “as new”
condition.
