ASAS Orders Color Coating Line from SMS Siemag
03/01/2011 - SMS Siemag has received an order from ASAŞ Alüminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. to supply a color coating line that will process around 50,000 tonnes of aluminum and galvanized steel strip material per year.
SMS Siemag, Germany, has received an order from ASAŞ Alüminyum Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. in Akyazi, Turkey to supply a color coating line in the Turkish province of Sakarya. The new line will provide a high-grade color coating for around 50,000 tonnes of aluminum and galvanized steel strip material per year, thus helping to eliminate the need for expensive further processing.
In addition to the color coating line, SMS Siemag’s scope of supply also includes two slitting lines and one cut-to-length line. SMS Siemag will supply the mechanical equipment as well as the electrical and automation systems for the lines.
For color coating, the line will be equipped with a chemical coater, prime coater and two finish coaters. Two low-emission flotation ovens are integrated for the curing of the bonding agent and the coating layer on the strip. The modern coating system allows fast color changing. The paint coat makes it possible for the strips to be further-processed directly into the end product.
Further line components include two uncoilers, a strip joiner, side trimmer, tension leveler, primary and main cleaning sections, and two vertical strip accumulators. The line will also include a strip inspection station, an embossing unit, DUMA oiler, equipment for hot and cold laminating, a cross-cut shear and a tension reel. The scope of the order also contains three shearing lines.
The cut-to-length line enables the coils to be divided into sheets, leveled, covered with foil and stacked to form packs. In the two slitting lines the strips can be divided longitudinally and coiled.
The color coating line is designed for aluminum and aluminum alloy strips in gages of 0.2 to 2.0 mm and widths ranging from 900 to 2100 mm. Galvanized steel strips can be processed in gages of 0.2 to 1.0 mm and widths from 900 to 1600 mm. The process speed is 80 meters/minute, while speeds of up to 160 meters/minute can be attained in the entry and exit sections.
In the future, ASAŞ Alüminyum will also manufacture flat products on the color coating line and other lines. Although it is intended to cater to the Turkish and European markets with these products, the main priority is to cover its own requirements.
The new lines are scheduled to commence production in 2012.
