system - from the reheat process to finished
goods - and the installation of a new
primary de-scaler, a new hot-leveler and a
new cooling bed. A new dividing shear,
piling system, automated inspection system
and plate marking machine will
upgrade the finishing area. Work began in
October 2019 and is scheduled to be concluded
in the summer of 2021. All work is
scheduled to be carried out in stages during
routine downtime, ensuring no impact
to operations or shipments.

GalvTech orders new
skin-pass mill
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) has placed an
order with Fives for the supply of a
high-efficiency skin-pass mill to its Galv-
Tech facility in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
For high-quality strip finishing, a skin-pass
mill is essential to remove the yield-point
elongation effect and improve surface
roughness and flatness.
The DMS SkinPass 4Hi to be supplied by
Fives will be designed to improve performance
and surface quality of a continuous
galvanizing line. The wet-process-type mill
will have a maximum rolling force of 5,500 kN
and incorporate various innovative design features,
such as optimum rolling and bending
forces, limited deflection for reduced friction,
better control and higher mill rigidity, automatic
clamping, easy maintenance, exceptional
component life and quick work roll
change. Given the limited line footprint, the
inclusion of the skin-pass and the arrangement
of a new bridle roll between the skinpass
mill and the tension leveller was an engineering
challenge well mastered by Fives.
