Marcegaglia Gazoldo Inox has awarded Tenova, a leading provider of sustainable solutions for the green transition of the metals industry, a contract to modernize and restart its 20-Hi Cold Rolling Mill at the Gazoldo degli Ippoliti plant in Mantua, Italy.
The modernization will incorporate advanced Level 1 and Level 2 automation, a next-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and Machine Learning Applications to optimize the rolling pass schedule. These improvements will lead to increased production volumes and allow Marcegaglia to expand its product portfolio. Additionally, Tenova’s Advanced Roll Cluster Configurator will automate roll management by selecting the optimal roll sizes for specific configurations. Vibration monitoring will also be implemented to enhance process stability and control.
The upgraded mill will deliver higher rolling accuracy, improved process stability, and enhanced operational reliability. With the integration of cutting-edge automation and digital tools, Marcegaglia aims to set new benchmarks for cold rolling efficiency and production flexibility. The revamped mill is expected to be fully operational by early 2026.
