The modernization will be carried out during a scheduled downtime of only 23 days. Commissioning of the tandem cold mill equipped with the new exit-side installations is scheduled to take place in summer 2019.
In 2016 already, SMS group comprehensively modernized the tandem cold mill “2100” of PAO Severstal and completely exchanged the entry section and the four mill stands. In addition, rolling technologies and electrical and automation systems were lifted up to the latest technological level through the use of X-Pact®. By these measures, the rolling mill “2100” was very well prepared to satisfy the increasing material requirements of PAO Severstal’s customers, especially regarding high-grade carbon steels, high-strength steels and micro-alloyed silicon steels.
SMS group is a group of companies internationally active in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the steel and nonferrous metals industry. It has some 13,500 employees who generate worldwide sales of more than EUR 3 billion. The sole owner of the holding company SMS GmbH is the Familie Weiss Foundation.
