ThyssenKrupp Steel orders three coiler systems
ThyssenKrupp Steel has placed an order with SMS Demag to supply three new coilers for its hot strip mill in Bruckhausen, Germany.
The supply scope includes the mechanical equipment, the complete electrical and automation systems and a new process model for the cooling section. The new coilers, of the latest design with Step Control, are to replace the existing coiler system.
SMS Demag says: “A revamping concept has been developed with the customer to minimise the plant shutdown time. Four brief shutdowns of 16 and 36 hours respectively and one continuous shutdown of nine days will be needed for the entire revamping.”
The revamping will take place between May and September next year. SMS Demag has already been involved in the modernisation of the 50-year old Bruckhausen hot strip mill – in 2000 it updated the finishing mill and, in 2005, the roughing mill.
Once the new coiler system has been modernized, the Bruckhausen hot strip mill will again be a high-output, state-of-the-art facility.
