Challenges
- Ansteel was planning a new, high-performance greenfield hot strip mill in Chaoyang, China.
- It required a Coilbox™ to allow maximum processing flexibility for a wide variety of products and operating conditions.
Solutions
- Inexperienced domestic suppliers were considered, but ultimately Ansteel turned to us for our world-class, leading coilbox technology.
- The Hatch Coilbox™ demonstrated the processing speeds and reliability required for the new hot strip mill.
Highlights
- The Anling Coilbox™ has the highest coilbox thread speed of 5.0 m/s and the highest reliability of coiling with no ovality.
- The new Coilbox™ has a simpler mandrelless transfer system than previous designs.
- The new Coilbox™ has the most flexible operator interface to allow for manual intervention when needed.
