New Mill on Order
McInnes Rolled Rings has placed a purchase order with SMS MEER Ring Rolling Division (Wagner), in conjunction with Girard Associates, for delivery of a Type RAW 160/125 Radial-Axial ring rolling machine for delivery in 2010. The new mill is expected to be installed in the summer of 2010.
This commitment will allow McInnes Rolled Rings to produce rings above 120”in diameter with weights in excess of 7,000 lbs in carbon, alloy and stainless steel. The new mill will target and expand the company’s existing base of business in the power transmission, energy and aircraft bearing markets.
The project will include all support equipment and heat treat facilities to accommodate the increase in both size and capacity. The new 160/125 will compliment the existing 63/63 RAW mill that currently produces rings from 20” (250mm) to 70” (1800mm).
The new mill will be located at the company’s headquarters in Erie, Pennsylvania .
