Technologies of Roll Pass Design and Mill Operation Strategy
Industrial Manufacturing · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
We are offering a five-days Roll Pass and Mill Operations training course. During this time we will cover the basics of metal deformation, the rolling of steel, and Roll Pass Design concepts. The course will provide the participants with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to deal with day-to-day roll pass, quality, and production issues. Engineers and mill operators typically learn their craft in the mill from the more experienced workers.
Learning Objectives
Develop a good understanding of roll pass design and mill operation
Apply proper techniques, tools, and procedures on roll pass design and mill operations.
Review and update knowledge on hot rolling concepts and the metallurgy of rolling for ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Identify the characteristics of flat pass design through its types of flat products and their tolerances.
Evaluate rolling mill arrangements and mill layouts including various equipment considerations.
Become familiar with the hot rolling concepts and the metallurgy of rolling for ferrous and non-ferrous metals
Determine the different elements of roll pass design according to power, torque, and separating force calculation
Know the rolling mill arrangements and mill layouts including various equipment considerations
Become aware of the characteristics of flat pass design through its types of flat products and their tolerances
Recognize the aspects of rounds and rod pass designs and become acquainted with round rolling sequences
Characterize the various types of angles as well as several angle products and their tolerances
Enhance knowledge on beams and channels through their products, tolerances, and sequences
Apply several guiding and troubleshooting techniques in roll pass design and mill operation
Who Should Attend
The program has been developed for those interested or involved in the hot rolling of steel. Typical participants will include roll pass designers, mill engineers, guide and set-up shop personnel, mill operators, and mill management personnel.

Accreditation
Al-Khobraa certified. On completion delegates receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of achievement.
What do Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses cover?
The portfolio covers lean manufacturing and Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), Kaizen and 5S, production planning and scheduling, industrial automation and control, plant operations and operational excellence — taught by practitioners with real plant experience.
Who should attend an industrial or manufacturing course?
These courses suit production and manufacturing engineers, plant and shift supervisors, operations and continuous-improvement managers, industrial and process engineers, maintenance planners, and quality staff working on throughput, waste or downtime reduction.
How long are industrial and manufacturing courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can industrial and manufacturing training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa industrial and manufacturing course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
