our customers, we need trusted and reliable equipment, that is why we chose Thermatool. Alongside their service and industry knowledge, we will continue to look to Thermatool’s 70 plus years of experience to keep growing.” “Thermatool has been an integral part of the growth at Fortacero. We value being a part of their success, and we look forward to partnering with them for many years to come,” said Cesar Tejeida, sales and service manager for Thermatool. “Local service technicians and spare parts in Mexico and throughout Latin America ensure our customers, like Fortacero, can reach us at any time.” Alongside Fortacero’s promise to provide the best for its customers, it created a customer portal known as FORTAweb, which was launched for ease of access for tube purchases, as well as other valuable resources.

SIX years ago, due to ever growing industry demands, Fortacero ventured into the tube and pipe manufacturing business by installing multiple mills to produce its own products. Recently, it has increased its output by commissioning a fourth mill, a twin 1.5 to 3" mill, equipped with its fourth Thermatool CFI Solid State HF Welder. Now it is serving the construction and industrial markets, as well as all the regional distributors throughout Mexico and southern US. Over the last six years, Fortacero has selected Thermatool’s CFI high frequency technology to ensure high production speeds with superior process control – producing high-quality product, sustaining inventory and maintaining on-time delivery. “We want to have a trusted brand at the heart of our tube mills,” Eduardo Treviño, CEO of Fortacero said. “To continue to be a reliable supplier for

HDGL furnace revamping at Marcegaglia

Advertise in this issue and be seen at...

DANIELI Centro Combustion has completed the revamping of the hot-dip galvanising line #1 at the Marcegaglia plant in Ravenna, Italy. The turnkey revamping of the hot-dip galvanising furnace was performed while limiting the outage duration to just 50 days as requested by Marcegaglia. In fact, the pre-assembly strategy for steel structures, furnace casing and piping, along with a massive pre-test of the automation system, made it possible to save ten days of erection time. The job consisted of revamping of the horizontal direct-flame fired section and relevant pre-heating section, plus that of the after-pot cooling system. This, together with the installation of new burners fed by pre-heated combustion air – achieved by a new centralised recuperator in the waste gas duct – allowed for a production increase of 20 per cent and a reduction of 20 per cent of specific furnace natural-gas consumption. Furthermore, the increase of the cooling capacity of the after-pot cooling section led to a 15 per cent reduction of the specific electric consumption.
