Nucor to add Fives packaging system, tube cutoff at Illinois facility
Steelmaker Nucor Corp. has ordered a packaging system and cutoff from Fives for its Tubular Products facility in Marseilles, Ill.
Fives will provide a new Taylor-Wilson packaging system from runout to the distribution of the bundles. It can package tubes from 18 to 80 ft. long with wall thickness up to 5/8 in. and mother tubes up to 12-3/4 in.
The company also will deliver a multimode cutoff for Nucor’s 12K Abbey mill, originally installed for structural applications, and will upgrade the mill’s transition beam system to support the steelmaker’s current market requirement of 0.630 in. maximum thickness for HSS tubing.
