Kunming Steel Project:

TIPPINS Ltd provided a complete set of production line equipment to their customers in the Kunming Steel project. This included a reversible Double Rack strip Steckel Mill of width 1,725mm, using a TIPPINS patent TSP™ technology design. The annual production capacity was 1.2 million tons. This is similar to the world's second largest mill, whose walking beam furnace has a heating capacity is 200 tons / hour. This also included two 1,725mm four reversible single stand cold rolling mills, each designed with an annual production capacity of 450,000 tons, a total output of 900,000 tons and a set annual output of 460,000 tons, a 1,725mm with four roller reversible single stand cold temper, supported by electrical and hydraulic control automation systems, a Roll Grinder, water treatment and other ancillary equipment. The whole package was a Bell type hydrogen annealing furnace with a push-pull pickling line speed of 150 m/hour.The unit is low in capital investment as well as having a high degree of automation and production flexibility characteristics. The project to provide Kunming Steel with hot and cold rolling sheet production, which ended in 2003, effectively increased the domestic steel industry's competitiveness.

2000:

In 2000 TIPPINS provided a two piece 1580 hot roll production lines for Baosteel. The unit can be used for light - sharp, heavy volumes and sub - volumes. The 400,000 ton annuall design was put into operation in August.

1998:

In 1998 TIPPINS provided NOVA HUT factories, located in the Czech Republic, the world's first set of reverse double-rack strip Steckel mills, with rolling mills of 1,725mm using unique TSP ™ technology, and a thin slab caster for the production. NOVA HUT chose TSP ™ technology in order to lower the production cost of high-quality Broadband products, this became Europe's first application of thin slab casting technology in steel joint ventures.

In 1998, Canada TIPPINS was commissioned by STELCO company to be responsible for the modification of its existing 3760 mm plate mill, using patent COILPLATE ™ technology. To technologically transform COILPLATE ™ plate mill TIPPINS provided a new furnace, rolling mill and coarse automation system, mill HAGC system, Laminar cooling system and a set of 3,050 mm ground for the coiling machine for the steel. Transforming the mill powerfully boosted STELCO s competitive edge in the industry. COILPLATE ™ 's subsequent benefit from the new technology can be seen though higher productivity levels, companies have more business opportunities because manufacturers can choose from a more flexible range.

1996:

In 1996 The United States requested TIPPINS OREGON Steel Company to provide a new 3,760mm Steckel mill. This mill was designed with an annual production capacity of one million tons, called Veneer, it's maximum width is 3505mm, the sheets maximum width is 3048mm, and the products thinnest width is 2.2mm, it's MCU mill is 550 tons in weight, its Main Motor Power is 20,000 horsepower, its rolling force reached 9,000 tons, and one of the word's largest mill. In 1996 TIPPINS provided PT little GIANT STEEL companies a 1422mm single reversible cold rolling mill in oder to reduce costs and renovated part of their mechanical equipment. The unit output was 150,000 tons, the maximum size of the product was 1,270 mm wide and 0.4 mm thick. Today, the unit has become one of the most modern mills in Southeast Asia.

1995:

In 1995 Thai LPN TIPPINS was commissioned for the construction of the first set of plate mills, TIPPINS provided a full set 3400mm mill, including electrical, automation and hydraulic parts. The unit had an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons. The impact of Thailand in the Southeast Asian market has significantly improved. In 1995, TIPPINS was commissioned by Indonesian company P. T. EMPEROR Steel;, to design and to provide a bar and section mill. The mill includes a three reversible roughing and 16 HV precision strip mill and ancillary control and hydraulic systems. To reduce investment in the provision of equipment some second-hand and refurbished parts were used.

1993:

In 1993 TIPPINS received a commission for four consecutive years from SAMYANG to provide a three rack Aluminum Rolling Mill (including a full set of subsidiary electro - hydraulic control equipment) and a legilsative mill, a rolling mill from the 3004 Series which allows for a wide variety of Aluminium products.

1990:

In 1990 TIPPINS provided a plate rack, 1,220 mm cold temper to Yichang in Shanghai, designed to yield 500,000 tons, to be used for the formation of 0.18 - 1.0 mm cold-rolled plates. To meet customer requirements TIPPINS delivered the products within the shortest possible delivery time, leading to immense customer satisfaction. South Korea's DONGKUK STEEL asked TIPPINS to provide them with a new set of 3,400 mm plate mills, including mechanical, electrical transmission control equipment and fluid and the whole production line. Product maximum width to be 3050 mm, the main drive to be 10,000 horsepower, with 5,400 tons of rolling force. The design yield was to be one million tons for the production of high-strength low-alloy plate. In order to reduce costs, some of the equipment used was renovated equipment.

1988:

TIPPINS undertook the task of transforming their US factories in Alabama's production line to a full line transformation, involving a new furnace, roughing, rolling, high pressure water descaling system, a roller guide, an underground coiler and three computer controlled systems. In addition TIPPINS also supplied them with a 2,640mm strand slab caster. The continuous casting machine is the largest on in North America. The commissioning of the new equipment came with far more than the customers expected benefits. This turned out to be one of the best continuous casting machines. In 1998 United Aluminium Company requested TIPPINS to modernize their Kentucky aluminium factories in order to enhance the quality aluminium cans and packaging materials to increase market competitiveness. Tippins provided a 3940mm thick and 2360mm rolling three hot strip mill update as well as updating the control and electronic system, provided HAGC, a wedge adjustment system, a roll cooling system and roll bending system, a centrifugal adaptive control and online rolling model. To update the system on the production line while keeping the amount of disruption time to a minimum the project was completed in just 38 days.
