EPS Generation 4The all-new Gen 4 EPS cell is now available. This totally new design is easier to install, operate, and maintain and further expands the EPS advantages over acid. |  |
Comprehensive Support for EPS Producers
In the next couple of months, ten new EPS Cells will come on line. The EPS Producers operating these cells enjoy extensive support with startup assistance, operator and maintenance technician training and easy-to-order spare and wear parts . . .
EPS Continuous Improvement Program
Over the course of 2012, our EPS Continuous Improvement Program has produced these results: (1) EPS production speed increased by 30%, (2) Variable operating costs reduced by 15%, (3) EPS production lines easier to operate and maintain . . .
EPS Pickles High Carbon and Alloy Steels Faster
Important news from EPS Producer Stripco, who is running a single cell EPS Coil Line at their recently expanded facility in Mishiwaka, Indiana: EPS is processing the difficult-to-pickle grades of steel at roughly the same speeds . . .
EPS Pickles High Yield Heavy Gauge
A major steel mill that produces a number of specialty high strength steels recently had several sheets of 100K yield steel processed through the EPS Sheet Line at TMW. The sheets were 1500 mm x 3000 mm across and 12 mm (0.4725 inch) thick . . .
EPS Pickling of Martensitic Stainless
A large steel mill produces stainless 420R, which is very hard: 220HV. It is also rather brittle, hence it cannot be acid pickled in a continuous line; it must be run on a push-pull type line . . .
EPS Eliminates Dry Shot Blasting
A major US manufacturer of water heaters recently tested EPS-processed hot rolled for their tanks. They wanted to determine if using EPS would allow them to eliminate the dry shot blasting . . .
EPS and Acid Pickled Surface Texture Analysis
A recent ‘high-tech’ evaluation of comparable samples of EPS processed steel and acid-pickled steel produced convincing visual evidence of how the EPS surface texture produces a smoother, more consistent paint finish . . .
