Coil handling system for U.S. long product manufacturer Sterling Steel
Dec 21, 2009
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, Carthage, Missouri, USA, ordered a coil handling system for a wire rod mill at its subsidiary, Sterling Steel LLC in Illinois.
The new, all-vertical coil handling system will enable the plant to accept future larger billets for higher yields and greater productivity with less downtime. The plant’s decades-old reform tub will be replaced with a newer, simpler design that minimizes damage and integrates well with the new coil handling system.
The upgrade also includes the extension of the mill’s existing Stelmor system which controls the cooling process for greater uniformity of rod properties and tensile strength. This extension offers Sterling more processing capability and the flexibility to run different grades of rod in the future.
One of the major reasons Siemens won this order was Sterling Steel’s positive experience during a 2003 joint modernization project with Morgan Construction Co., a Siemens subsidiary.
The order is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010.
