Introduction of Complex for Thermal Processing enabled:

• Changing from production of wheels and tires with hardness 320 HB to production of wheels and tires with stable hardness values up to 360 HB
• Blanks cooling maximum 50ºС down after leaving a heating furnace and providing 28 seconds for wheel delivery from the heating furnace to the back line of hardening machines (15 meters)
• Integrating the line information space into the shop and rolling line information space that provides information tracking of metal from the moment of heating till the moment of products shipment
