Primetals Technologies has received the final acceptance certificate (FAC) from Jiangsu Shagang for the successful upgrade of the wire rod outlet and the rebuild of the Morgan Reducing/Sizing Mill within line No.3 at the company’s sixth mill in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province, China. This project, part of a broader initiative to modernize Shagang’s mills, focused on enhancing dimensional tolerance and mechanical properties. It marks the first of several planned wire rod outlet upgrades across Shagang’s production lines.
Thanks to the modernization, finished rod products achieve improved tolerances and surface quality. Additionally, Jiangsu Shagang has received immediate positive feedback from the end-users regarding metallurgical and dimensional tolerance resulting from the upgrade.
The project’s scope of supply included equipment for the rebuild of the reducing/sizing mill incorporating new guides, a new Morgan Intelligent Pinch Roll and sixth generation laying head, high-speed shear before the reducing/sizing mill, and a comprehensive mechatronics package. Engineering for the water-cooling line, the Morgan Stelmor Controlled Cooling Conveyor, and reform tub area, as well as site supervision services were also included.
