Morgan to Add Bar and Coil Outlet at GSW
WORCESTER, Mass., Oct. 24, 2005

Global Steel Wire, S.A., (GSW) of Santander, Spain, has recently ordered an upgrade to its existing rod mill from Morgan Construction Company.

According to Michael Shore, Senior VP, Engineering-Rolling Mill Technology, “The contract with GSW calls for the addition of a bar-in-coil outlet to that company’s existing Morgan rod mill. The addition will include a three-stand bar reducing sizing mill (BRSM),” which he said is a new concept of the traditional four-stand BRSM.

He added that Morgan will also provide pinch rolls, shears, pouring reels, and cooling conveyors.  “The new bar and coil outlet, when completed, will produce bar sizes 22 mm to 52 mm.

“Additionally, the existing rod mill, which includes a rod reducing sizing mill (RSM), will be upgraded to achieve rolling speeds of up to 105m/s.”

The upgrade will be designed at Morgan’s Worcester, MA, headquarters, while the equipment will be manufactured at its worldwide sources. Delivery of the new equipment is scheduled for May 2006.

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