Mill upgrade will allow rolling larger rod sizes
Morgan Construction Company has received an order to upgrade Connecticut Steel Corporation's (CSC) single-strand mill to produce largedr rod sizes.
The high-efficiency mill is designed to roll special bar quality (SBQ) products for high-end industrial applications, including the automobile industry.
Products range in size from 5.0mm to 88.9mm round, as well as squares, hexagons, flats and rebar.
"Market demand for these superior products was the driver for this new mill," noted S Mark Shore, vice president, Rolling Mill Sales and Proposals.
The combination mill will feature controlled temperature rolling to produce thermo-mechanically rolled rod and bar product.
"This coupled with the single family rolling technology of the reducing/sizing mill will provide Acindar with the optimum in rolling efficiency and processing flexibility," Shore added.
The new mill's production is expected to be 500,000 tons/year, with commissioning projected for July 2007.
Acindar has been a customer of Morgan Construction since the 1940s, and has several Morgan mills in operation.
The mill under construction will replace an older bar and skelp mill, increasing Acindar's capacity for long products.
"As technical leaders in equipment and processing, Morgan is known for its high quality mills," said Shore.
"For Acindar, we're providing the best technology for the best price." Morgan Construction Company is a designer and producer of high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
