New Ebner Annealing Facility Increases Greer Steel Production

Greer Steel Company has recently installed a new Ebner Hicon H2® annealing facility at the company’s Dover, Ohio mill, effectively increasing production and quality of the company’s processed steel products.

The new gas-fired, high convection Ebner annealing facility features six high convection work bases, which are capable of processing coils with a 72″ outside diameter. The addition of these new bases affords Greer Steel the capability to anneal steel strip coils in a 100% hydrogen atmosphere. These 100% hydrogen work bases provide greater throughput by reducing the required cycle time, thus increasing the overall capacity of the annealing department. The new facility is in full operation and has increased Greer’s anneal capacity by 80,000 tons per year, improving the quality of its fully processed products and on-time deliveries to its customers.

Greer Steel is one of America’s premier producers of carbon/alloy steel strip and flat wire applications, ranging from home appliances to automotive equipment and hardware.
