Tk accelis, the renamed distribution and trading unit of thyssenkrupp group, has ramped up its expanded steel processing site in Stuttgart, Kallanish learns.
The site, part of subunit tk accelis Processing Europe, has processed the first 500 coils on the new slitting line, which supports the processing of particularly thin materials, including electrical strip for future-oriented applications.
In addition, a digitally integrated packaging line has been commissioned, targeting higher-quality, controlled processing services, the company notes. The new setup is designed to enhance efficiency, quality, and process reliability by seamlessly integrating processing and packaging, it adds.
With the new slitting and packaging line, the Stuttgart site is now designed for an annual processing capacity of up to 350,000 tonnes. The slitting line is part of an integrated setup that streamlines material flows and enables processing of materials with thickness range from 0.2 to 5.0 mm.
“The digital integration of production and packaging processes reduces manual handling, minimises paper-based documentation and supports more efficient resource utilsation,” says the ceo of tk accelis Processing Europe, Marcus Wöhl.
He also highlights that the company is strengthening its competitive position “by enabling the site to process electrical steel strip, a key material for various applications”.
