Baosteel elects GEORG for the world’s most modern CRM roll shop
Investment into the Future
12 months ago Baowu Steel Group Corp. Ltd. (former Baosteel) and Shanghai Court Roll Surface Treatment Co., Ltd. entrusted the high-tech machine builder GEORG with the engineering and realization of five roll grinding machines of the GEORG ultragrind type. Background was the planned plant expansion of the Zhanjiang site in Guangdong province with the target to build the world’s most modern CRM roll shop.
Technically and economically superior
For Baowu Steel and Shanghai Court the decisive criteria for placing the future oriented order with GEORG was the focus on application of latest state-of-the-art technologies, e.g. the GEORG smart control. Based on the world’s most advanced machine control system SINUMERIC ONE by Siemens we have integrated the digital twin into our roll grinding machines already. The interaction between the virtual and the real machine offers our customers best conditions for enormous production increases when applying our grinding machines. As a result GEORG could make a great step ahead of its competition in regards to automation, digitalization, verification and economy wise.
Ready to act in spite of Covid-19 pandemic
GEORG is proud that in spite of all adverse circumstances during the worldwide pandemic of Covid-19 all dates and dead-lines could be kept. The originally planned personal presence of the customer during pre-acceptance at our Kreuztal works was not possible due to travel restrictions. However, this was not an obstacle for GEORG to carry out the tests together with the customer in a digital way. All main machine functions were demonstrated and verified live.
During this event all responsible project team members at Zhanjiang and Shanghai could virtually convince themselves about the GEORG quality. At present all five machines are on their way to the customer at Zhanjiang.
Invest now to be ready for the recovery
Covid-19 pandemic has hit many companies severely and has caused many restrictions and uncertainties. Anyhow the world goes on turning and we all have to take care respectfully of the health of our employees but also of the success or fail of our companies. At present nobody can tell when the right vaccine against Covid-19 will be available. However, one thing is for sure: after a long time of infringement of investments there will be a booming upswing ahead of us. It is our common responsibility to be prepared for this and to set the switches for a successful future.
With our analogous and digital tools we have been continuously able to consult and assist our customers in almost every aspect. We will be glad to support also you in your planning of possible investments and ideas with all our competence but also with flexibility and experience.
Just contact us. We are by your side.

LTC relies on Georg robotline technology.
This year Georg comissioned two GEORG precisioncut TBA 400 robotlines at LTC in Italy successfully. The lines produce fully automatically complete transformer cores up to 1700mm lamination length and up to 440mm lamination width.
First Coil: Decomecc starts slitting operation on new GEORG slitting line
Last year we reported on the investment decision of our long-time customer Decomecc NV from Genk/Belgium in a slitting line from GEORG, which was to be designed for the specific needs of the automotive industry. Now the Belgian company successfully announces the first strip cuts.
Hitachi Energy has ordered two new GEORG precisioncut TBA400 lines for two of their plants.
The first one is a machine type GEORG precisioncut TBA400 ecoline L with a full sequence in-line stacker for up to 1200 mm lamination length. The machine is now starting operation in the plant in Lodz, Poland.

Successful commission of TBA400 at Lemi
TBA400 with high-speed configuration at our long-standing customer Lemi Trafo JSC.
Together with one slitting line which was put into operation a few weeks ago, the new TBA400 expands Lemi's machine park and supports their growth strategy.
The benefits of pin stacker technology for the distribution transformer production can also be gained from a Transformer Magazine article 'Demand driven core production' we published recently.
Finally, a special congratulations to our technicians and also to our customer’s employees for carrying out the commissioning in record time.
Remote Service in Vietnam
Travel restrictions during the pandemic made it often impossible to visit our customers on site. This also applied to the installation and commissioning of our machines. However, we successfully supported our customers remotely, through our online service.
