Follow on Google News | Stripco Inc. Announces Eco Pickled Surface (EPS) ExpansionStripco Inc., producer of flat rolled steel products including cold rolled steel, announced an expansion project for steel pickling at its Mishawaka, Indiana facility.
By: Digital Hill Multimedia, Inc. The flat rolled steel processor will install a pickling line for steel pickling that features EPS technology (Eco Pickled Surface) from The Material Works. EPS technology is environmentally friendly, using slurry blasting as an alternative to traditional acid pickling for steel. There are no toxic chemicals involved. A mixture of steel grit, water, and rust-inhibitor is used to remove scale from hot rolled black surfaces of steel. This innovative approach also creates a more consistent steel surface, removes light hot mill defects, and is available dry but still corrosion-resistant. Stripco Inc's steel pickling line will run coils up to .375 inches thick, 72 inches wide, and 60,000 lbs. Annual capacity is 200,000 tons. The pickling line is built by Red Bud Industries and will have a shape-correction leveler from Braner USA. "We are excited to work with The Material Works and EPS technology as it's introduced to the steel industry," said Eric Hiler, General Manager of Stripco Inc. "Our customers certainly see value in the uniform surface, the fact that it's available dry (no oil), and the environmentally friendly process; all at a price comparable to traditional acid pickling."
