Morgan Wins Contract for Chinese Stainless Steel Rod Outlet

Morgan Construction Company has been awarded a contract for a rod outlet to be added to an existing bar mill from the Tsingshan Holding Group Shanghai International Trading Company, Ltd. of Shanghai, People’s Republic of China. The new outlet will be installed at Tsingshan’s Zhejing Ruipu Machinery Co., Ltd. facility in Qiangtian City, Zhejiang Province.

Morgan’s operations in both Worcester and Shanghai will manufacture the components, which will include a 10-stand Vee No-Twist® Mill, pinch roll, laying head, nozzle, trough assemblies and guides. Morgan is also responsible for the engineering design for all equipment within the rod outlet from the exit of the last main mill train stand to the reform station.

The rod outlet will produce 5.5mm to 16mm diameter stainless steel rod at a 100 percent mill rolling rate of 65 tonnes per hour. Guarantee speed will be 75 meters per second. Design speed will be 85 meters per second.

“This outlet enables Tsingshan to add stainless steel rods to its expanding product list for new markets,” noted Dave Pariseau, Vice President of Corporate Projects. “We are excited to have Tsingshan join Morgan’s long list of customers, and we look forward to a successful start-up of this rod outlet.”

Engineering is now underway, with the equipment scheduled to be supplied in the fourth quarter of 2007. Morgan Construction Company is a designer and producer of high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metals industry
