Corrugados Azpeitia SL, Spain, has added a new Danieli Spooler line to its existing bar mill in Azpeitia.

The new line, which recently delivered its first spooled coils, enables the company to supply the market with 8- to 32-mm diameter rebars, twist-free-wound at speeds of up to 35 meter/second into 1.8-tonne ultra-compact high-quality spooled coils at output rates of 110 tonne/hour.

Spooling technology, thanks to twist-free winding of hot-rolled rebars, grants a unique, cobble-free uncoiling capability that makes traditional off-line cold decoiling, stretching and rewinding unnecessary, resulting in significant savings in transformation costs. The process also helps to optimize coil handling, storage and transportation.

Danieli Automation supplied the electric and automation systems for the new line.

Corrugados Azpeitia is part of the Alfonso Gallardo Group.
