Nelson Steel and Vigano Secure Order for Push/Pull Pickling Line in Poland

Nelson Steel will be responsible for the process section and Vigano is responsible for the entry and exit equipment on the line.
 
The pickling line is the 76 complete process section that the Nelson technology group has engineered and installed over its 46 years of existence. Nelson Steel’s unique position as operators/designers and manufacturers of pickling lines makes it an ideal choice as a supplier of steel pickling equipment with expertise in all aspects of operations.
 
The ATS pickling line is specified for operating at a maximum target of 200,000 metric tons per year and at a maximum line speed of 40mpm. Coils size for ATS is 30,000KG maximum at 6mm by 1600mm maximum width.
 
Process Section equipment consists of:
  • Three pickling tanks, each of 10m in length.
  • “Turbo Tunnel” design to affectively reduce consumable cost on acid and gas consumption
  • Acid recirculation system
  • A three stage rinse spray system
  • Single air blow off system
  • Fume exhaust system
  • Ferrous chloride and raw acid storage tank farm.
 
While this is a relatively smaller capacity pickling line, this is a great opportunity awarded to create greater brand awareness for Nelson Steel and Samuel, Son & Co. in Europe.
