New cut-off machines for Nucor
Tubular Products
Nucor Tubular Products, a leading manu-
facturer of carbon steel pipe and tubing in
North America, entrusted Fives, an inter-
national engineering group, to design and
supply new cut-off machines.
The new machines, contracted for Nucor’s
plants in Marseilles, Illinois and Decatur,
Alabama, feature the latest advancements.
They were tested on-site in presence of
Nucor specialists at Fives Bronx’ workshops
in Ohio. Both teams discussed project
updates, test cuts, and received hands-on
maintenance training during a two-day visit.
“We really value the partnership that we
have built with Fives. This collaboration has
been a big win for us to improve both safe-
ty and production and will allow our work-
ers to continue to operate in a safe environ-
ment,” says Ray Jansen, Project Engineer at
Nucor Marseilles.
Factory acceptance testing
The equipment for Nucor Marseilles plant -
Abbey cut-off and Taylor-Wilson packaging
system – will be delivered within the frame
of Nucor’s expansion plan to produce larger
tube sizes for the structural market. The
new Abbey cut-off will have plunge and
orbital cutting, a first-of-its-kind feature for
this equipment in the industry and will cut
tubes up to 16” (406.4 mm) with wall thick-
nesses up to 0.625” (16 mm) at speeds up
to 200 fpm (61 m/min).
Nucor Decatur will receive a new cut-off as
part of the expansion of the existing tube
mill. The new Abbey cut-off machine will cut
tubes up to 20” (508 mm) with wall thickness-
es up to 0.625” (16 mm) at speeds up to 200
fpm (61 m/min) and will allow for increased
reliability and better product quality.
“We opened the workshop to strengthen
our customer relationships and provide
flexibility to serve their needs. With Nucor’s
continued trust, we took another step to-
wards success with the factory acceptance
testing of a large-scale capital project, says
Carter Dulaney, Aftermarket Sales Manager
& Workshop Operations Manager at Fives
Bronx, Inc., a subsidiary of Fives, specialized
in tube mills and finishing equipment.
This partnership with Nucor demonstrates
Fives’ ability to meet customer require-
ments with dedicated solutions and sup-
port for the tube and pipe industry.
