Primetals Technologies has received the final acceptance certificate from a Turkish steel producer after completing a phased upgrade of its hot-strip mill.
Phase 1 focused on upgrading the process automation system, while Phase 2 centred on modernising the basic automation system and implementing advanced profile and flatness control.
Primetals highlighted that the steel producer chose them as it would receive continued support from experts, increased availability of spare parts, and improved strip profile and flatness quality.
The ALEX condition monitoring system was also installed during the project.
During the final acceptance test, more than 2,300 items were produced, surpassing contractual requirements for in-bar control and setup for strip profile and flatness.
The mill was restarted as scheduled following installation and commissioning.
