Tenova, a developer and provider of sustainable solutions for the green transition of the metals industry, has been awarded a contract by Marcegaglia Gazoldo Inox to modernize and restart its 20-Hi Cold Rolling Mill at the Gazoldo degli Ippoliti plant in Mantua, Italy.
The revamping will include the implementation of advanced Level 1 and Level 2 automation, a next-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI), and Machine Learning Applications for optimizing the rolling pass schedule. The revamping will result in increased production volumes and an expansion of Marcegaglia’s product portfolio. Additionally, Tenova’s Advanced Roll Cluster Configurator, a smart system designed to automatically select the optimal roll sizes required for specific rolling configurations, will provide automated roll management, while vibration monitoring will improve process stability and control.
The upgraded mill will achieve higher rolling accuracy, improved process stability, and enhanced operational reliability. The integration of automation and digital tools will enable Marcegaglia to set new benchmarks in cold rolling efficiency and production flexibility.
The revamped mill is expected to be operational by early 2026.
