Production of high-grade cold and silicon strips

Gazi Metal decided on a continuous pickling line for a plant concept with a capacity of 350,000 tons per year, that can easily be converted into a continuous pickling line with double the capacity.

The pickling line represents a key element in Gazi Metal's new production complex in Karasu, Turkey. Gazi metal decided on a continuous pickling line for a plant concept with a capacity of 350,000 tons per year, that can easily be converted into a continuous pickling line with double the capacity. Two small horizontal strip accumulators, which ensure a minimum process speed, are a major feature of this concept. The process section consists of a tension leveler and a 54 meter long turbulence pickling section. Next, the strip passes through a trimming shear and a DUMA-BANDZINK oiler. In order to further re-condition the used and iron-fortified hydrochloric acid from the pickling process, a fluidized-bed acid regeneration plant with a capacity of 1,700 liters per hour is used.

It is well known that SMS, as one of the biggest machine and plant manufacturer, is a reliable and experienced supplier.
