German plantmaker SMS Meer has announced that it has received an order from Ohio-based TimkenSteel for a new heat treatment plant at the company's Gambrinus complex in Canton, Ohio, US.
The new heat treatment line will set new performance standards among existing comparable facilities. It will be capable of processing up to 10 metric tons per hour of tubes and bars, ranging from four to 13 inches in diameter and a variety of different steel grades.
SMS Meer said that the plant is scheduled to come into operation in Ohio in the second quarter of 2015.
