Company Announcement: Successful coiler modernization by SMS Siemag at Tata Steel IJmuiden
This article has been supplied as a media statement and is not written by Creamer Media. It may be available only for a limited time on this website.
Tata Steel granted SMS Siemag, Germany, the final acceptance for the modernization of coiler No. 3 in its IJmuiden, Netherlands, hot strip plant. Thanks to the comprehensive upgrade, the over 25-year-old coiler is now able to coil hot strip of higher strengths and greater thicknesses. Our aim was to make coiler No. 3 fit for coiling strips of higher strengths as are increasingly demanded by the market, while keeping investment costs as low as possible. This was definitely achieved,” sums up Peter Aberkrom, Project Manager of Tata Steel IJmuiden. One of the essential factors contributing to the low investment costs was the possibility of re-using the coiler mandrels after having them reinforced in the SMS Siemag workshop.
The modernization by SMS Siemag covered the technological adaptation of coiler No. 3 to the new requirements and the installation of new components such as stronger gear units for the pinch roll set and the coiler mandrel drive, new hydraulic valve stands, and the reinforcement of the existing coiler drive. Another newly installed item
is the hydraulically controlled chute roll which supports the coiling of high-strength steel grades. SMS Siemag furthermore assisted Tata Steel IJmuiden in the adoption of a coiling strategy for the high-strength strips.
