Germany-based plantmaker SMS Group has announced that it will supply a new high-performance peeling machine for stainless steel bars for Taiwanese stainless steel bar producer Walsin Lihwa Corp., based in Yenshui, Taiwan. The commissioning of the new equipment is scheduled for January 2018.
According to SMS, the new peeling machine allows bright bars with finished diameters of up to 160 mm to be peeled at diameter tolerances up to IT9 and with excellent peeled surface.
With this new investment, Walsin Lihwa Corp. will significantly increase its capacity and expand its diameter range for peeled stainless bars from 80 mm currently up to 160 mm.
