Ternium, a manufacturer of flat and long steel products, has selected Fives to design and supply a galvanizing line for its plant in Pesquería, Mexico. With a production capacity of up to 661,300 tons, the new line will handle sheets up to 4.5 mm thick and 1,854 mm wide from cold- or hot-rolled base coils for construction and nonexposed automotive applications. The first coil is planned by the end of 2025.

The line will include fully automated entry and exit coil handling sections, pre-cleaning and cleaning systems, horizontal annealing furnace with high-efficiency and low-NOx burners, hot-dip galvanizing and cooling equipment, skin-pass mill and tension leveler, automatic strip inspection and visual inspection capability, and comprehensive line automation.
