Utilizing our grade development & coating process know-how, smart tools and advanced equipment design we have delivered numerous strip processing lines with a horizontal furnace producing steel grades from building to automotive quality, from compact lines to high-speed lines.
Key technologies
NeoKlean® system – A degreasing system utilizing a combination of hydro, chemical and mechanical processes. An electrolytic NeoKlean® with improved design ensures the ultimate degree of strip cleanliness.
Thermal section – Consisting of a non-oxidizing furnace, a radiant tube furnace, a soaking furnace and a rapid cooling section. We use the AdvanTek® DFR (direct fired reducing) combustion system, which gives you homogeneous strip temperature crosswise and proven ability to process strips for automotive parts.
Aeris® after-pot – An efficient and flexible cooling system to improve strip stability by enabling the reduction of the cooling length.
Minispangle system – Aiming to minimize ‘spangles’ in galvanized strips to improve the surface quality for coating.
Skin-pass and strip leveler – Skin-pass mills coupled with strip levelers for a wide variety of annealed and galvanized steel products.
Side trimmer – Featuring a special design and blade positioning technology that offers clean and accurate edge cutting.
Fives developed NeoKoil® continuous galvanizing line (CGL) with a horizontal furnace and a companion minispangle system to produce steel grades from building to automotive applications quality. Such processing lines are cost effective and versatile.
