GST MILL ACHIEVES MONTHLY PRODUCTION RECORD
In a statement issued by Rick Howard, Mill Manager, he noted, 'This record output illustrates the continuous improvement in mill performance since the conversion from a four-line configuration.' The former Armco mill was converted in 1995 from four to two strands when it was upgraded by Morgan. The modernized mill achieved finishing speeds of 100 meters per second during its record production run. John D. Foley, General Manager, Domestic Rolling Mill Sales, said that the original four-strand mill was built by Morgan in 1957. 'The mill was converted from a four-strand to a two-strand mill in 1995, and now includes new water boxes with temperature control, pinch rolls, laying heads, Stelmor® cooling conveyors, reforming equipment and a coil handling system. The upgrade also included the addition of two-stand finishing mini-blocks after the Morgan No-Twist® mills.'
