Processing

Powerful processes for stainless steel strips

Nothing is built like these proven plants - specially designed for all stainless steel strip treatment stages. Included here are efficient furnace and descaling technology, sophisticated production models, and powerful green technology. That gives you low production costs, high energy efficiency, and outstanding environmental standards. Plus: here you get complete lines from one source with integrated electrical and automation systems.

Line concepts

Hot-strip annealing and pickling lines

Characteristics

Directly after hot-rolling, these lines anneal and pickle the strip before winding it into coils.
