Nanshan Aluminium expands its storage and transport capacities
Shandong Nanshan Aluminum Co.,Ltd., China, has placed an order with SMS Logistiksysteme, Germany, to expand the storage and transport capacities of the works in Longkou in Shandong Province.
The way was already paved for this capacity increase at the beginning of the year by Nanshan Aluminium, when the order was placed for the rolling mills. This has now been followed by the order forexpanding the storage and retrieval machines for the high-bay store. Besides an automated crane for the flat store and two storage and retrieval machines for the high-bay store,the supply scope of SMS Logistiksysteme comprises the structural steelwork for the complete shelf system including the roof and wall linings as well as the cooling system.
The order volume also contains a driverless Automatic Coil Transporter (A.C.T.) which further strengthens the fleet of A.C.T. already supplied in 2006 for the new finishing bay.
SMS Logistiksysteme will supply the mechanical equipment, the entire automation technology and the logistics software.
The hot coils are cooled in a controlled manner by using a ventilation system in order to minimize the dwell times between the individual rolling processes. The coil management, tracking of the material flow and monitoring of the cooling process are performed with the aid of the logistics software developed by SMS Logistiksysteme.
