Flexible Acid Pickling Line

Push-pull pickling line for smaller batches and thicker gauges.

Push-pull or push-type pickling lines are selected when the project needs flexible investment, broad material coverage and a custom layout rather than a high-speed continuous line.

Overview

Flexible pickling for multi-grade, small-batch and project-custom plants.

The workbook positions push-pull and push-type lines as practical solutions for medium or small batch programs, thicker strip and lower investment pressure.

  • Suitable for stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel depending on acid system.
  • Common width references reach up to 1650 mm, with final size defined by project.
  • Usually lower speed than continuous pickling lines but more flexible for product mix.
Process Route

Simple equipment flow with custom acid and rinsing sections.

The line can be engineered around the required acid chemistry and plant space.

01

Uncoil and straighten

Coil entry equipment prepares strip for stable travel through the acid section.

02

Pickling tank

Hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or mixed acid can be evaluated by material route.

03

Rinse and dry

Water rinse, brushing or spray systems remove residual acid and loose scale.

04

Recoiling

Exit tension and recoiling equipment prepare finished coils for storage or downstream work.

Parameters

Push-pull line data extracted from the workbook.

Because this product type is highly customized, the engineering review should start from coil and acid data.

Pickling mediaHydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or mixed acid by steel gradeEnvironmental controls must match the selected acid
Key decisionInvestment flexibility vs. continuous-line throughputUseful for early CAPEX comparison
Line Value

Flexible investment without overspecifying the line.

JINYE sizes the line to the real batch structure, coil size, acid media and available utilities.

A

Flexible CAPEX

Good fit for projects that do not need continuous high-speed production.

B

Material range

Can be reviewed for stainless, carbon and alloy steel routes.

C

Simple flow

Shorter equipment chain can reduce layout pressure and maintenance complexity.

D

Custom tanks

Acid, rinse and drying sections are matched to product mix and site conditions.
