Decades of experience and technical knowledge

Bühler Würz Kaltwalztechnik GmbH combines decades of experience of the Würz Group with the technical know-how of the cold rolling mill manufacturer Bühler & Co. Based on Bühler´s experience of more than 125 years, and supplied plants for over 1,000 applications, Bühler Würz is specialised in cold rolling mills for wire and strip. Steel application can be covered as well as non-ferrous alloys. The main focus of the business is the strip and wire industry, the precious metal industry and various customised applications like PV-ribbon for the photo- voltaic industry.

❍ ❍ The PV ribbon machine from Bühler Würz

The synergetic effects of the fusion between Kämpfer Würz and Bühler Würz arise, in particular, in PV-ribbon machines. The perfect adjustments of the rolling mill, combined with adequate material selection for tooling of rolling emulsion and suitable cleaning units, permit the following machine parameters:

• 1,000m/min exit speed • ≤ 0.15 µm surface quality

• ≤ 0.002 mg/cm² remaining carbon • max. ± 3 µm thickness tolerance • 0.5-7mm width • 0.035-1.5mm thickness • ≤ 5mm/1,000mm camber effect

The unique integration of the cleaning unit in connection with the achieved performance data, productivity, surface quality and close limits, are a demonstration for the innovative ability of Bühler Würz.
