The Push-Pull Pickling Line (PPPL) will be designed for an annual capacity of 350,000 TPA, capable of processing strip widths up to 1,350 mm and thicknesses up to 3.8 mm, at a maximum speed of 120 mpm.
“Its V-shaped granite blocks simplify strip uncoiling into the bath, while efficient rinsing systems and a two-step acid scrubbing process minimize acid fumes—ensuring a cleaner and safer working environment,” the company said in a regulatory filing on September 18.
