Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited has placed an order with SMS Meer for the modernization of a 25 year old push bench plant.
SMS Meer will upgrade the existing plant to a modern, high performance Cross Piercing Elongating plant.
As a result BHEL's capacity will be doubled to around 100,000 tonnes and its product range extended. With the conversion to modern CPE technology BHEL's production processes will be more cost effective and energy efficient, as material losses are reduced by 65%.
The maximum shell length on the upgraded plant will increase to 16 meters. The finished tube diameter ranges from 26.7mm to 159mm. In addition to carbon steels the plant can now also produce low and high alloy steels. High alloy materials such as 10CrMo910 or T91 will be used here
