Revamp with just<br />

minor production losses<br />

To modernize the long-product mill, the<br />

patented HSD ® High-Speed Delivery system<br />

was installed during the scheduled<br />

annual maintenance shutdown so that revamping<br />

did not cause any major production<br />

losses. Parallel to the installation of<br />

the HSD ® system, the rolling mill was<br />

modernized and all measures for dismantling<br />

the old machines and ancillary facilities<br />

were carried out.<br />

FAC issued after<br />

just 10 months<br />

In spite of the tense delivery situation<br />

worldwide for plant components, <strong>SMS</strong><br />

<strong>Meer</strong> succeeded to supply, erect and commission<br />

the complete facility on schedule,<br />

just six months after contract signing in<br />

January 2007. In November 2007, around<br />

10 months after the signing of the contract,<br />

Hellenic Halyvourgia officially accepted<br />

the mill and issued the FAC.<br />

HSD ® system.<br />
