Key Products/TechnologiesKeyProducts/Technologies
Steel Product Packaging and Packaging Equipment Engineering: Provision of entrusted operation for automated packaging lines for various steel products, including hot-rolled, cold-rolled, and stainless steel, along with related equipment engineering. Notable achievements include the world's first development of the 'POSCO StrapMaster' packaging robot for steel coils, focusing on advanced packaging automation technology. The packaging line system integrates diverse logistics methods into steel coil and aluminum large/small coil packaging lines, establishing an efficient packaging system considering complex factors like packaging material arrangement and worker movement.SteelProductPackagingandPackagingEquipmentEngineering:Provisionofentrustedoperationforautomatedpackaginglinesforvarioussteelproducts,includinghot-rolled,cold-rolled,andstainlesssteel,alongwithrelatedequipmentengineering.Notableachievementsincludetheworld'sfirstdevelopmentofthe'POSCOStrapMaster'packagingrobotforsteelcoils,focusingonadvancedpackagingautomationtechnology.Thepackaginglinesystemintegratesdiverselogisticsmethodsintosteelcoilandaluminumlarge/smallcoilpackaginglines,establishinganefficientpackagingsystemconsideringcomplexfactorslikepackagingmaterialarrangementandworkermovement.
Aluminum Deoxidizer Production: Direct production and supply of aluminum deoxidizers (ingots, pellets, mini-pellets) that remove excess oxygen from molten steel during the steelmaking process and enhance the corrosion resistance and workability of steel products. This business relies on competitive raw material procurement (100% recycled materials like Al Scrap) and production technology, offering pellet-type deoxidizers that do not generate harmful dust or white smoke, unlike mechanical forming methods.AluminumDeoxidizerProduction:Directproductionandsupplyofaluminumdeoxidizers(ingots,pellets,mini-pellets)thatremoveexcessoxygenfrommoltensteelduringthesteelmakingprocessandenhancethecorrosionresistanceandworkabilityofsteelproducts.Thisbusinessreliesoncompetitiverawmaterialprocurement(100%recycledmaterialslikeAlScrap)andproductiontechnology,offeringpellet-typedeoxidizersthatdonotgenerateharmfuldustorwhitesmoke,unlikemechanicalformingmethods.
