CHINA STEEL ORDERS UPGRADE FROM MORGAN
10 May 2004 - Morgan Construction Company

Morgan Construction Company has received an order from China Steel Corporation of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, for an upgrade to its two-strand rod mill.

In announcing the contract, Mark Shore, Director of Rolling Mill Sales and Proposals, said, 'The upgrade will include modification of the shears after stand #7, along with the installation of a new electrical control system. 'This modification will convert the stand #7 shears from an air clutch, air brake to an electric start/stop arrangement. A new electrical control system will also be provided for both the shears after stand #7 and #15.

'This upgrade,' Shore explained, 'is designed to improve the mill's yield by increasing the accuracy and repeatability of the crop cut length, in addition to improving the mill maintenance.'

The mill, which was originally built and installed by Morgan in 1977, was last modified by Morgan in 1997 with the addition of two Reducing / Sizing mills. The mill produces over 720,000 tons of rod per year at finishing speeds of 5.5mm rod in excess of 85 m/s meters per second.
