Primetals will supply the complete wire rod mill with all mechanical and electrical equipment for two-strand production from a single stand roughing mill. Two independent rolling lines will then join at the coil handling area for further compacting and unloading. Among other Morgan-branded equipment, the mill includes a new design of individually driven pre-finishing mill that eliminates the need for uploopers, a faster cooling nozzle clamping and unclamping method for shorter change times, the latest generation 6 Morgan High Speed Laying Head with SR Series pipe technology, and a recently patented stepless reform design.
The contract also includes site supervision and spare parts. Designed for a guaranteed maximum speed of 115 m/s, the mill will run at 220 t/h for an annual capacity of 1.2 million metric t of wire rod per year.
