Mexican Mill Orders Compactor from Morgan
Worcester, Mass., USA,  July 19, 2005

Morgan Construction Company has received a contract from Siderúrgica Lázaro Cárdenas - Las Truchas, S.A. de C.V (SICARTSA) in Lázaro Cárdenas, Mexico, for a new compactor and coil handling system.

According to Neil Gow, Sales Manager, “The new equipment, which will be added to its existing unit, will be installed as an upgrade to the mill’s four-strand mill. Originally built and installed by Morgan in the mid-1970s, the mill has since undergone several modifications, the latest of which was a major modernization to all of its strands, completed in 1999.”

Currently Sicartsa produces 1800 kg coils at a rate in excess of 200 tons per hour. Installation of the new equipment is scheduled for May 2006.

Initially designed by Morgan in 1999, the new compactor offers the latest technology, including the company's new wire binding system.

Morgan Construction Company is a designer and producer of high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
