Danieli completes Lusosider pickling line upgrade
Brazil-based CSN’s Portuguese subsidiary, Lusosider Aços Planos, has issued the final acceptance certificate to Danieli for the successful commissioning of the new entry section at pickling line No.2 in Aldeia de Paio Pires, the technology supplier tells Kallanish.
“The project consisted of replacing the existing mandrel with a new, tailor-made designed equipment, along with on-site advisory services for erection and commissioning,” Danieli explains.
The contract included an external bearing to limit the current deflection of the mandrel under coil loading and strip tension. “Tests conducted during the commissioning phase showed a precise integration with the pickling line and robust behaviour of the supplied equipment,” the supplier adds.
Complete with main gears and bearings, and equipped with three additional sets of adapters to cover all the internal diameters of the coils, the mandrel is capable of a wide expansion range, from 570mm to 660mm.
