Morgan Construction Co. has received two contracts from Acindar Industria Argentina de Aceros SA, Argentina, for the design, manufacturer and installation of new equipment to upgrade Acindar’s twin-strand rod mill.

One of the contracts is for modifications to the reform station, while the second is for two 870 mm shears that will replace existing Morgan equipment. The reform station modifications include installation of Morgan’s patented Ring Distributor System, which will allow the mill to improve the coil formation and enable the mill to provide its customers with a staple and compacted package for shipping.

The new shears, which will replace existing Morgan equipment, will provide a start-stop shear solution that is designed to improve the crop and cobble bar cutting. The shears will provide the mill with greater accuracy, which will reduce mill yield losses.

Mechanical equipment will be manufactured in Brazil, while the design and engineering work will be performed at the company's Worcester, Mass., headquarters.

The mill produces carbon steel rod ranging in diameter from 5.5 mm to 25 meters.

Morgan Construction Co. designs and produces high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
