Knowledge of valve condition brought up to date through auditing at Rautaruukki's Raahe Works

摘要

In the spring of 2007 Metso Automation carried out an extensive audit of the installed equipment base and equipment inventory at Rautaruukki's Raahe Works. More than a thousand Neles control and on-off valves were audited. Ruukki's Raahe Works, extending over an area of a good 500 hectares, manufactures steel plate and strip products out of iron ore. Ruukki has been among the core of Metso Automation's customers for decades. Initially, the collaboration concerned equipment deliveries. Metso Automation, then under the name Neles, delivered valves to Ruukki when the plant was first built.
