Lusosider Aços Planos, a flat steel producer and subsidiary of Brazil-based CSN, has hired Italy’s Danieli Service to upgrade the payoff reel in its pickling line No.2, at Aldeia de Paio Pires, Portugal.
The project includes the replacement of the existing mandrel, along with main gears and main bearings, by a custom made designed equipment, which will be supplied along with on-site advisory services for assembly and commissioning.
The new mandrel will precede the supply of a new outboard bearing to limit the current mandrel deflection under coil load and strip tension, to improve the final product quality by improving strip centering and strip flatness.
The set-up of the equipment will be made during October 2024.
