Ideally placed to meet your needs
It’s been an important and successful year for Boxy, of
Remedello, Italy.
From its plants Brescia and Slovakia, Boxy produces reels for
copper cables, welding wire and metal cores for tyres.
With a turnover in 2005 of €7.9 million – up €1.6 million
from 2004 – a further leap to €11.5million is expected for 2006.
The company also has two chief executives with the addition
of Stefano Sorlini, who joins Mario Ferrari in the boardroom.
With 40 employees and the technical office in Remedello,
a staff of 90 in Slovakia and a sales office and after-sales service
at their subsidiary Mossberg Reel for the US market, Boxy has
also started improvements at its Brescia headquarters, renovating
the machines and developing further the automation side of
the business.
This €1million investment is aimed at the core business of reel
production and the increase in production of lifting units, tilting
units and accessories.
Since forming in 1969, Boxy quickly established themselves on
the international market. The production cycle is regulated via
CAD-CAM procedures which control the parameters of process
and quality.
The main models produced are :
BTE: machined and electronically balanced for speeds up to
50m/s for wire and multi-wire
NA : with double wall flanges, machined and electronically
balanced for speeds up to 50m/sec.
BST: in pressed steel, for strands and cables
BMP and BAL: in large dimension for cables and ropes
BFP: with reinforced double wall flanges, machined and balanced
for steel wire drawing and annealing
Among the main models presented by Boxy the take–apart reel
‘Koiler’ has a high demand in the market. The mechanism of this
model allows the lower flange of the reel to be unfastened and
the drum to be closed automatically, hooking and lifting with the
right accessories, without having to unscrew or unfasten except
for the safety device.

First two-stand aluminium cold rolling mill
for China
CSWA Cold Rolling Co Ltd (Southwest Aluminium), China, which belongs to the
Chinalco Group, has placed an order with SMS Demag, Germany, for the supply
of a two-stand cold rolling mill for aluminium and aluminium alloys.
The ceremony for the signing of the contract took place in the Great Hall of the
People in Beijing which underlines the significance of this new plant for China.
The two-stand cold rolling mill constitutes the core of an investment package
by means of which CSWA intends to increase its cold rolling capacity to more
than half a million tons per year.
The new mill will produce tin-can strip, panelling and litho material for the
printing industry. The cold strip can be rolled up to a width of 1,800mm and a
maximum final thickness of 0.15mm.
The new rolling mill is equipped with ultra-modern actuators and technological
control systems. Both standard are designed with the CVC6 plus® technology.
Such a multi-stand mill is particularly sophisticated in terms of technology
because of the temperature sensitivity of the rolling oil used for the cold rolling
of aluminium.
The mill stands as well as all core components are manufactured in SMS Demag’s
workshop in Germany.
Commissioning is scheduled for the spring of 2009.
