In August 2006, the new heavy gauge downcoiler "B4" was successfully installed and started-up at the Fos/Mer Hot strip Mill, after the 12-day annual stoppage. This equipment was engineered in collaboration with Siemens VAI MT France and manufactured at the Siemens VAI Montbrison workshop. This 4-wrapper hydraulic downcoiler is more specifically dedicated to the heavy gauge pipe grades market for oil/water transport application and is designed for processing coils up to 1850x25,4 mm~2 in X70 grade, which makes it the most powerful hot strip downcoiler in the world at present.
