Tenova’s aluminum line for Baowu Aluminum processed the first hot coil and Pomini Tenova supplied one work roll grinder and one combination roll grinder.
At the end of August, Baowu Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd.’s Continuous Annealing and Chemical Pre-treatment line for processing strip coils for the aluminum market supplied by Tenova produced its first hot coil. As affirmed by the customer, the processed coil surface quality and performance of the line fully meet the producer’s requirements, confirming the high level of reliability of Tenova’s solution.
Baowu Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd. – a company of Baowu Group, leader in the global steel industry – started the line’s erection in November 2020, and cold and hot test were performed starting from May 2021. This represents an important milestone for the company to open up the production process of aluminum coils, entering the domestic market for automotive.
The contract for the supply of this new line was signed in 2018 to process automotive and aircraft aluminum alloys.
As declared by the customer, the line has the advantage to have a high level of automation combined with simple process, leading to a short production cycle and high efficiency. This proves Tenova’s continuous effort to enhance the design and the manufacture of its supply to maximize line availability.
This line follows another important project run by Pomini Tenova, worldwide leader in the production of roll grinders, for the same client. Over the past months, Baowu Aluminum Technology Co., Ltd. signed the Final Acceptance Certificate for one work roll grinder and one combination roll grinder, which have both met the requirements of process accuracies and surface quality.
Tenova’s portfolio of technologies for the aluminum industry also includes aluminum heat treatment and aluminum melting and recycling, with the scope to supply our clients with the most cutting-edge solutions for this market.
