Nucor Selects Primetals for Plate Mill Upgrades
11/29/2016 - Primetals Technologies has won a contract to upgrade the finishing end of a Nucor plate mill in North Carolina, the equipment manufacturer has announced.
Primetals said the project entails the replacement the mill’s existing drives and control system with Siemens drives, automation and a human-machine interface; a WinCC software system; and a level 2 automation system to control the side trimmer, cold shear and shipment prep areas.
Nucor is also considering an option to add a quality assurance solution with a character-recognition camera to validate customer data on metal plates, Primetals said.
The mill, located in Hertford County, produces about 1.6 million tons of carbon, alloy and high-strength, low-alloy steel plates. The work is to be completed by next spring.
