Sovel orders new spooler line for high-capacity rebar coils

Sovel, part of the Sidenor Group, has ordered a new K-Spool line from Danieli to be installed at its Almyros micromill, in Greece. It is the 3^rd 8-ton K-Spool® awarded to Danieli and the first and only in the Greek and Balkan region.

The new equipment will replace the existing spooler line, which currently produces coils up to 3.5 tons, and will enable the production of compact, twist-free rebars-in-coil up to 8 tons, in diameters from 8 to 25 mm.

The supply includes two spoolers, upstream equipment such as pinch rolls, loopers and laying devices, a new cropping shear, and a complete downstream coil handling system featuring Sund Birsta automatic strapping machines and discharging stations.

The new line will be integrated into the MIDA endless casting and rolling mill, recently upgraded with a high-speed Danieli Octocaster, and will be supported by patented Danieli Automation Q-VID technology for precise coil loop control and formation.

This investment will increase coil weight capacity, improve production efficiency, and reduce handling and transformation costs for Sovel’s rebar products.
