New Metal Engineering LLC has received an order for a new heavy crop shear from California Steel Industries, Inc.
New Metal Engineering, a joint venture company between IHI Inc. and Enprotech Industrial Technologies, will utilize the IHI drum type crop shear design and manufacture it in its Lansing, Mich., facility.
The crop shear upgrade will provide improved capability to cut thicker, high-strength material to be used at CSI’s new electric resistance welded pipe mill. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in December 2013.
Presently, 23 IHI crop shears of this design are in production in hot strip mills around the world. Its advanced design exceeds industry standards in cutting performance, equipment durability, control reliability, and lower cost of maintenance. Its superior functionality results in energy savings and reduced yield loss. The crop shear is equipped with two sets of curved knives, not only to minimize crop loss, but also to allow smoother roll bite in the finishing stand.
New Metal Engineering was established in 2009 as a joint venture between IHI Inc. and Enprotech Industrial Technologies to provide equipment solutions for the North American metals industry.
