SMS reports sales of wire rod finishing blocks mills to 2 Italian manufacturers

摘要

Two Italian wire-rod producers, Arlenico SpA and Feralpi Siderurgica SpA, have each ordered a four-stand MEERdrive PLUS finishing block from the SMS Group. A press release said that both wire-rod finishing blocks will be integrated in the companies' existing plants. The technology, which includes a thermomechanical rolling process and a sophisticated water cooling line for the heavy-duty machine, will enable it to produce wire rod to "the tightest tolerances ever produced."
