China Mill Orders MORGOIL® Bearings
WORCESTER, Mass., USA, January 23, 2006

The MORGOIL Bearing Division of Morgan Construction Company has received a contract to manufacture MORGOIL Bearings for Anshan Iron & Steel Group Corporation, Liaoning Province, the People’s Republic of China.

The bearings will be installed in a new heavy plate mill that Anshan Iron & Steel Group is building in Liaoning Province.  According to Gabriel Royo, Vice President and General Manager of MORGOIL, “these bearings are the new MORGOIL KLX design.  When compared with the previous KL design, they allow for approximately 25% higher load capacity. Alternatively, with the same load, the bearings can be smaller, reducing the overall capital cost of the new plate mill.”  He added that “the KLX bearing also results in a stiffer bearing, and thus an improvement in strip quality.”  Delivery is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2006.

The MORGOIL Bearing Division provides a wide range of oil film bearing solutions for the most demanding applications in the metal rolling industries worldwide.  Its parent firm, Morgan Construction Company, is a designer and producer of high-quality rolling mill products and services for the metal industry worldwide.
