Angang Group International Trade Co. of China has awarded LOI Thermprocess a contract to supply two heat treatment plants for heavy-gauge steel plate.
The contract covers two roller hearth furnaces designed for different plate widths.
The first roller hearth furnace is to be used for the heat treatment of low-allow carbon steel plates with widths up to 2.8 m and a maximum weight of 15 t.
The second plant, for the quenching and tempering of steel plate is to include a roller hearth furnace and a roller quench facility. This furnace line will be used to treat low-allow plates with widths up to 4.8 m and a maximum weight of 30 t. The special quenching technology used ensures that the carbon steel plates are extremely level after treatment, reducing the need for straightening work. The capacity of the plant is to be 31 t/h.
The scope of supplies also includes fully automated control systems for all operations of the two lines which are relevant to quality, safety and productivity.
The furnaces are due to be commissioned in the second half of 2006.
