ArcelorMittal Inaugurates Upgraded Pickling Line in Poland

ArcelorMittal recently celebrated with Tenova Strip Processing the inauguration of the company’s upgraded continuous pickling line in Krakow, Poland.
 
ArcelorMittal awarded the contract for the upgrade to Tenova Strip Processing in 2008 as a leader of a consortium with Miebach and ABB. The upgrade targeted improved strip characteristics, mainly through a new tension leveler, a side trimmer, new welding machine and automation of the line.
 
With the revamp of the pickling line, ArcelorMittal targeted improved capacity of the line, and improved quality parameters of the cold rolled steel in terms of mechanical properties, thickness tolerance and high flatness. The pickling line upgrade has received the Industrial Commissioning Certificate.
 
The upgraded line will produce 1.2 million tonnes/year of steel strip, up to 4.5 mm thick.
 
Tenova designs and supplies advanced technologies, products and services for the metal and mining industries. Tenova operates close to its customers through a network of 33 companies based on the 5 continents.
