Tolerance improvements with new straightening machine

Seoul-based Hyundai Steel Company has placed an order with SMS group for the supply of a straightening machine for the medium section mill at its Incheon site. The new horizontal roller straightener of type HRM 1400/1250/1100-9M will replace the existing straightener installed in 1995. With this new horizontal straightener from SMS group, Hyundai Steel will be able in future to roll larger sheet piles and beams up to a web height of 450mm. 

 

In addition to extending the product range, the straightener will also help to improve the tolerances and quality of the sections. This straightener also boasts reduced maintenance and lower media consumption while maintaining a high level of process reliability.

Commissioning of the straightener is scheduled for autumn 2018. With a crude steel production of 24 million tonnes per year, Hyundai Steel is one of the ten largest steel producers worldwide, supplying predominantly to the automotive, shipbuilding and general construction industries.
