OPP installed and successfully commissioned a new Electrostatic Oiler on its Pickling Line. The new Oiler was designed and built by GFG-Peabody, a leading manufacturer of continuous coating equipment. The oiler applies a uniform coating of electrically resistive fluid, such as oil, to the moving steel strip for corrosion resistance or drawing lubrication. The new Oiler is designed using the latest technological advances and will be used to apply precise and uniform coatings onto the top and bottom sides of steel strip. The type of coating and amount can be easily adjusted based on specific customer requirements.
