Germany-based plantmaker SMS Group has announced that it has received a follow-up order from Outokumpu Nirosta GmbH Krefeld for the revamp of its existing rolling-oil treatment plant, after the revamp already carried out in March this year.
According to the statement, SMS will perform and complete the work on the mechanical equipment of the mill stand and on the rolling-oil treatment plant within a very tight time schedule in the course of this year, guaranteeing that Outokumpu Nirosta can start producing the desired grades on this mill before the end of the year.
In September 2014, Outokumpu Nirosta had placed an order with SMS Group for upgrading the rolling mill equipment, allowing this mill to be used also for rolling ferritic grades in thin gages and high-gloss quality.
