Turkey’s ASAŞ orders color coating line for aluminum and steel

German plantmaker SMS Siemag has announced that it has received an order to supply a color coating line for the processing of strips made of aluminum and galvanized steel from ASAŞ Alüminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. based in Akyazi, Turkey.
 
Accordingly, the new color coating line is designed for galvanized steel strips in gages of 0.2 to 1.0 mm and widths from 900 to 1,600 mm.
 
Each year, the line will provide around 50,000 mt of strip material with a high-grade color coating, which will then make expensive process steps unnecessary during further processing. The scope of the order also includes two slitting lines and one cut-to-length line.
 
Besides the mechanical equipment, SMS Siemag is also supplying the electrical and automation systems for the lines, which will commence production at the ASAŞ works in the Turkish province of Sakarya in 2012.
