Processing

Our pickling lines are outstanding for their high pickling performance as well as low maintenance and operating costs over a long service life. This is true for all line concepts, from push-pull pickling lines to semi-continuous and fully continuous pickling lines.

Annealing lines and galvanizing lines from SMS group are characterized by the excellent quality of the end product, high efficiency and economy, as well as enormous capacities. In recent years various improvements and new technical solutions have been developed regarding line concepts, furnace technology, galvanizing technology and post-treatment.

The highlight of our color coating lines for steel is the compact coating process. We ensure the chemical strip pre-treatment, subsequent color coating, and drying oven are perfectly synchronized. That way, you achieve excellent quality at low resource and energy consumption.

We offer two different process routes for tinplate production. In the conventional route, the strips are cleaned in an electrolytic cleaning unit, moved to a batch annealing furnace for recrystallization annealing and then surface-treated and reduced in an offline skinpass mill stand. In the other route-which is often used for higher capacities, all the process steps take place in a continuous tinplate annealing line with an inline skin-pass mill stand.

SMS group offers perfected concepts for all treatment stages of stainless steel strip characterized by efficient furnace and descaling technology, sophisticated production models and powerful environmental technology. All this leads to low production costs, high energy efficiency and outstanding environmental compatibility.

SMS group supplies processing lines for the production of silicon steel from non-grain oriented grades to high-permeable grain oriented grades. All lines feature special equipment tailor-made for the particular requirements of silicon steel strip.

SMS group has banked more than 80 years’ experience in making drawing, peeling, grinding lines and straightening lines for bright steel. It’s an expertise stretching back to the heritage brands of Schumag and Kieserling.

As a producer of copper and non-ferrous goods, you face ever-higher quality demands from your customers. You also want top productivity. That – and more – is what you get from our drawing lines and finishing equipment.
