MINO is proud to announce the successful start of production of its new two-stand six-high reversible cold reduction mill for steel, for an undisclosed North American customer.
This milestone marks the official start of full operations, following installation, cold commissioning, initial process testing, and a period of fine-tuning, carried out in close collaboration between MINO’s engineering team and the customer’s technical staff.
The two-stand design provides flexibility for medium-volume production of cold-rolled strips with low investment and efficient operating costs. Compared to two individual single-stand reversing mills, this solution offers improved material flow, reduced operating crew requirements, and savings on infrastructure such as buildings, cranes, and auxiliary devices.
MINO’s latest evolution of its Six-High Mill solution reflects decades of experience supplying and commissioning high-quality mills for the global flat products industry, meeting the most demanding applications for strip quality and productivity.
The newly commissioned mill features:
- Advanced process automation and control systems
- Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) and Automatic Flatness Control (AFC)
- High-precision rolling capability
- Optimized design for tight thickness and flatness tolerances and excellent surface finish
Thanks to its optimized design, the mill delivers both flexibility and efficiency, ensuring consistent performance across a wide range of steel grades and strip dimensions.
The successful ramp-up to full production demonstrates the strong collaboration between MINO and the customer, built on shared values of technical excellence, innovation, and long-term reliability.
This project further strengthens MINO’s position as a trusted supplier of advanced rolling mill technology for the ferrous metals sector, delivering customized solutions that meet the highest industry standards.
MINO thanks the customer’s team for their trust and collaboration throughout every phase of the project and looks forward to supporting continued success in high-precision steel strip manufacturing.
