Leveltek Helps Italian Steelmaker
Give the Boot to Shape Defects

When management of the Accia Speciali Terni (AST) facility, Terni, Italy, needed a solution for eliminating edgewaves, center buckle, quarter buckle, crossbow and mandrel breaks in stainless steel coil, they commissioned Leveltek to provide a stretcher leveling system which uses a patented technique for improving flatness.

The order was placed in December 1997, Leveltek installed the equipment in December 1998 and was accepted by the Accia Speciali Terni facility in January 1999.

By using Leveltek’s stretcher leveling system, AST — a division of the Krupp Thyssen Stainless Group — has improved quality and productivity.
