SMS Logistiksysteme to Extend Pallet Transport System at Bhushan Steel

Bhushan Steel Ltd., India, has issued an order to SMS Logistiksysteme, Germany, for the extension of the pallet transport system for hot-rolled coils at the Angul location in the federal state of Orissa.
 
Together with the hot rolling mill from SMS Siemag, the first coil conveying system was delivered to Bhushan Steel in 2009. With this extension, a pallet transport system will link a new storage bay to the existing system and enable the facilities located there, such as the shearing lines and levelers, to be optimally supplied with hot-rolled coils.
 
The coil transport will first take place through a tunnel underneath a road. The coils will then be lifted up by a lifting table to store level, where they will be conveyed along the bay columns to the crane takeover positions.
 
SMS Logistiksysteme’s supply scope comprises the complete engineering as well as the manufacture, erection supervision, and commissioning of the transport equipment, including the automation and the material tracking.
 
SMS Logistiksysteme GmbH is a company of the SMS group, which is, under the roof of the holding SMS GmbH, a group of companies internationally active in plant construction and mechanical engineering for the steel and nonferrous metals industry. It consists of the two business areas, SMS Siemag and SMS Meer. In 2009, some 9000 employees worldwide generated a turnover of EUR 3.9 billion.
