A second reel and belt wrapper have been added to the two-high Achenbach reversing hot mill at the Joliet plant of Alumax Mill Products Inc. The addition of this second reel, which was manufactured by Mesta and powered by a 900 horsepower Reliance DC drive, enables the Joliet plant to produce larger diameter coils with improved finish and closer gauge control at higher production rates. The new mill configuration is the only one of its type in the U.S.
