Product strength and line performance have been boosted at Ansteel’s 2,150mm hot strip mill, thanks to CISDI’s rebuild of a coil dividing and skin pass mill line.

The refurbished SPM is now producing products with a wider specification and greater strength than those produced at similar Ansteel lines.

This is the 25^th successful reference for CISDI’s SPM supplies.

The rebuild took around a year, in challenging circumstances. The team were up against constraints posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, plus the need to re-utilise ageing equipment.

During the process, CISDI provided the design, manufacture and technical assistance for the installation, commissioning and trial production.
