Morgan Construction Company has received a contract from Belgo Mineira to speed-up its two-strand TL0l mill in Joao Monlevade, Brazil.

Ricardo Cruz, Business Manager of Morgan do Brasil, said: "The contract, which calls for the mill's speed to be increased by 10%, includes engineering and installation of several pieces of new equipment for both strands".

"Equipment being added includes gear boxes, repeaters with troughs, mini-blocks, modifications to the Stelmoro cooling conveyor, fluids systems, electric equipment and mill automation".

He added that the mechanical equipment would be manufactured in facilities in both the USA and Brazil, and the design and engineering work was being performed at the company's Worcester headquarters.

Originally built and installed in the early 1960s, the mill has since undergone several modifications and upgrades.

It produces carbon steel rod in size ranges of 5.5mm to 16mm diameter and when upgraded, it will operate at 90m/s.
