China Zhongwang orders continue with aluminum plate packing lines

China Zhongwang placed an order to Pesmel for two automated plate packing lines. The packing lines are a positive continuation to the four coil packing lines ordered earlier. The plate packing lines are delivered to the company’s hot rolling mill in Tianjin. The first plates will be packed in Spring 2015.

Plate packing line 1 serves the cut to length line with an annual capacity of 120,000 tons. The packing line receives a maximum of 24-meter plates weighing up to 10,000 kg. Packing line 2 is located after the sawing mill. The sawing mill produces 200,000 tons of aluminum plate annually with a maximum package length of 12 meters, which weighs up to 10,000 kg.

Both lines are fully automated with interfaces to the mill information system, process lines, and shipment warehouse. The lines have 1-2 operators for supervision and packing material refilling. The packages include several packing layers with different materials to provide ultimate moisture and mechanical protection. China Zhongwang is an aluminum supplier of the world’s leading manufacturers for the aircraft, marine, and commercial vehicle industries. As the customers are world-class companies with demanding products, the raw material packing must follow the same high standards.

China Zhongwang has become one of Pesmel’s most important customers in Asia.

“We are honored to be a part of the China Zhongwang’s investment project and are looking forward to the future cooperation,” says Mikko Rissanen, Pesmel Area Sales Director.
