Continuous Pickling Line
- Tension Leveling and Laser Welding to Provide for Better Surface Quality. AM/NS Calvert has a 1.1m tonne/year stand-alone CPL and supporting Slitter Line Hot (SLH) to service the needs of Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled (HRP&O) customers without having to go through outside processing. Since very few steel mills have stand-alone CPLs dedicated to producing HRP&O products, the addition of the CPL greatly simplifies the supply chain for our customers.
- Laser Welder and Tension leveling – The laser welder in the entry area of the CPL produces a virtually invisible weld and, therefore capable of passing through the tension leveler, allowing us to process a wide range of products (thicknesses, widths, and chemistries).
The high capacity tension leveler guarantees a product with superior flatness for our Hot Roll Pickled (HRP) customers and provides a highly efficient pickling process, thus producing a steel strip consistent from end-to-end.
