Morgan Construction Co.’s Morgoil Bearing Division has received contracts from China Erzhong for Morgoil Bearings for two hot strip mills the company is building in P.R. China.

One of the new mills is being built for Tiantie Metallurgical Group, Tianjing City, and the other is for Shandong Rizhao Steel Co., Ltd, Shandong Province.

Morgan says the bearings represent the company’s latest KLX^™ technology, which is the highest-capacity oil film bearing ever designed and built. The company adds that the new KLX bearing has made its predecessor, the KL bearing, obsolete.

Engineering and technical support for both contracts will be supplied by Morgan’s headquarters facility in Worcester, while the equipment and manufacturing components will be manufactured at the company's Morgan-Shanghai manufacturing facility in China.

Delivery for both contracts is scheduled for Spring 2006.

China Erzhong is a mill builder located in Deyang, Sichuan Province, P.R. China.

The Morgoil Bearing Division provides a wide range of oil film bearing solutions for the most demanding applications in the metal rolling industries worldwide. Its parent firm, Morgan Construction, designs and produces high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
