SMS Siemag to Provide Heavy Dividing Shear Line for LY Steel
07/01/2009 - SMS Siemag will supply a heavy dividing shear line for Lian Yuan Iron and Steel Group capable of cutting and leveling high strength materials into high quality plate.
LY Steel (Lian Yuan Iron and Steel Group), China, has placed an order with SMS Siemag for the supply of a heavy dividing shear line with an annual output capacity of 500,000 tonnes.
LY Steel will use the new line to cut hot coils of high material strength into plates and to level the plates to produce a high-quality, flat and smooth end product. It will be designed for the production of plates ranging in gage from 5 to 25.4 mm at speeds of up to 40 meters/minute. Plates will be trimmed in a variable manner to widths between 850 and 2,100 mm and cut to lengths from 2 to 16 meters. The line will be capable of cutting and leveling plates of a tensile strength up to 1,500 N/mm².
SMS Siemag’s supply scope comprises the mechanical, electrical and automation systems. In addition to the hot coil transport with pay-off reel group, SMS Siemag will also provide two levelers for the hot strip and for the plates, which are cut to the desired dimensions by the trimming shear group and the flying shear. After passing through a marking device, the cut trimmed and leveled plates will be stacked by the downstream plate piler into piles that are then weighed and strapped in the transport system.

Product from the new line will include plates for shipbuilding, bridge-building and the construction of pipework, tanks and vessels, and safety containers as used, for example, in cash dispensers.
The new shear line will supplement the Compact Strip Production (CSP®) facility that SMS Siemag previously erected for LY Steel in Loudi City in Hunan Province. Commissioning of the dividing shear line is scheduled for spring 2011.
With an annual production of more than 4.8 million tonnes, LY Steel is one of the leading plate manufacturers in the central part of south China.
SMS group is, under 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, which jointly form SMS metallurgy. In 2008, some 8900 employees worldwide generated a turnover of more than EUR 3.6 billion.
