Ulsan Aluminum Ltd. was founded by Novelis and Kobe Steel as a joint venture company in 2017. The Ulsan plant produces rolled aluminium plates for the Asian markets of the beverage and electronics industries, the transportation sector and the construction business. Primetals will supply a new automation system for the hot rolling mill, including the automation platform, technological control systems (TCS), for example automatic gauge control (AGC), hydraulic gap control (HGC), work roll bending, as well as the data acquisition and the associated operator control and monitoring system.
Cold rolling mill no. 2 in the Ulsan plant will also be equipped by Primetals with a new technological control system with a functionality comparable to that of the hot rolling mill and the TCS for cold rolling mill no. 1, which had previously been successfully installed in 2013. Here again, the scope of delivery includes the data acquisition and the associated operator control and monitoring system. Primetals will be responsible for the installation, commissioning and fine adjustment of the automation technology in both rolling mills.
