Fortis Mill Roll Grinding Solutions
Recognizing the Evolving Demands of Roll Grinding Operations
Roll grinding is a specialized form of external cylindrical grinding designed for rolls that operate under extreme pressure, heat, and mechanical load. Used in both hot and cold rolling mills, these rolls require regular maintenance to maintain surface quality, consistency, and mill uptime.
Today’s steel producers face rising energy costs, tighter tolerances, and increased expectations for productivity. Rolls made from hard-to-grind materials demand engineered abrasive solutions with advanced grain technology and bonding systems to achieve high G-ratios and material removal rates (MRR)—without compromising roll integrity or safety.
Helping You Perform When It Matters Most
We help steel producers and roll shops meet today’s challenges with Fortis Mill roll grinding solutions, engineered to optimize grinding performance across hot and cold mill applications.
Fortis Mill wheels maximize G-ratio and MRR while delivering consistent surface finishes and reduced cycle times. The result is fewer wheel changeovers, lower consumable spend, and reliable performance—pass after pass.
