Primetals Technologies to modernize block milling machine for AMAG rolling in Austria

Aluminum producer AMAG rolling GmbH has awarded Primetals Technologies, London, an order to modernize the block milling machine at its Ranshofen plant in Austria. This involves renewing the electrical and automation equipment as well as replacing some components of the secondary plant equipment and adding some new ones. The safety equipment will also be brought up to the state of the art, according to the company.

The goals of the modernization are to simplify maintenance, increase availability, and bring the safety equipment up to the requirements of the machine safety ordinance by using standardized equipment. The project is scheduled to be completed by the beginning of 2018. Primetals previously carried out modernization projects on AMAG’s hot rolling mill.
