摘要

SMS group has received an order from ConsteUium Rolled Products Ravenswood, LLC, USA, for the modernization of the 112 inch finishing mill exit end of its aluminum hot strip mill. This modernization of the exit end covers the replacement of two "constant passline" coilers with a single fixed position coil-er. The aluminum hot strip mill is a key-production unit at Ravenswood and is essential for providing hot rolled coils for further processing by the cold rolling mills. This revamp will provide Constel-lium with improved equipment reliability and reduced equipment down time.
