SMS Logistiksysteme to supply billet inspection line for Formosa Ha Tinh
From Taiwanese Nan Ya Plastics
Corporation, a company of the Formosa Plastics Group, SMS
Logistiksysteme, Germany,(www.sms-logistiksysteme.com) received the
order to supply a billet inspection line for the new fully integrated
steelworks of Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation domiciled in Vietnam.
The line is scheduled to be put on stream in October 2015.
This investment is the customer’s response to growing quality
requirements in the sectors of bar steel and wire. In a fully automatic
process, the line will inspect rolled billets for inside as well as
outside defects which will subsequently be remedied by grinding with
pinpoint precision. The fault analysis allows conclusions to be drawn
also about the preceding production steps: Casting or rolling processes
can be adapted and hence continuously improved. For the future, this
implies a distinct reduction of material defects.
SMS Logistiksysteme GmbH is a company of the SMS group which,
under the roof of the SMS Holding GmbH, consists of a group of global
players in machinery and plant construction in steel and nonferrous
metals processing. Its workforce of more than 13,500 employees generates
sales worldwide totaling EUR 3.3 billion.
