Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it will supply a new two-roll straightener for Chinese steelmaker Jiangsu Lihuai Iron & Steel. The new equipment, which allows high-speed bar processing up to 100 m/min, will process 20-80 mm diameter high-strength steel bars for automotive applications.
According to Danilei, the integrated safety system of the new straightener will prevent damages in case of uneven shape of the hot rolled bars, increasing components’ lifetime, thus minimizing maintenance costs.
