The new equipment consists of a water forced cooling system and
lining-up rollers to be implemented in the existing cooling bed, cooling
bed exit table with automatic layer prep system, 10-roll multistrand
straightener, 1100 sht cold shear and an 80’ long automatic single head
magnetic stacker to eliminate short bars, maximize plant efficiency,
material yield and final product quality.
The equipment will support an increase in the mill’s production capacity and will make new added-value products available to customers. Products will be straightened, cut to a final commercial length from 14’ to 62’ and processed by the stacker in up to 5 sht bundles at the maximum rate of 125 t/h.
Danieli Automation will supply electric motors and automation systems to grant the optimal plant management.
The plant startup is expected in March 2017.
