Sarclad supplies latest EDT roll

Two major steelmakers have chosen Sarclad’s latest EDT roll texturing technology for their flagship plant expansions.

ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AM/NS), a joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel, has chosen the newly-launched Rolltex MSA 72 for its cold mill no.2 expansion in Hazira, India. Sarclad’s Rolltex MSA technology operates a Multi-Servo Array (MSA) to deliver high levels of texturing performance.

The 72-electrode MSA machine selected by AM/NS features two texture heads, each with 36 individually controlled electrodes. Steel Dynamics Inc. has also selected Sarclad’s Rolltex MSA for its mill investment in Sinton, Texas. The Rolltex MSA 36 features a single-sided texture head, which can be expanded to 72-electrode capacity by adding a second texture station in the future.
