The installation of the turning rolls took place earlier this week. The machine is capable of producing cylinders like the one picture above.
The new Holtec Manufacturing Facility in Camden has reached a milestone this week with the installation of a massive set of turning rolls. This machine takes flat steel plates up to 10 inches thick and 13 feet wide and rolls them into perfect cylinders. These cylinders are used in various product that Holtec manufactures for the Nuclear Industry.
This machine has the largest turning rolls in North America, and the machine itself weights nearly a million pounds. The machine was manufactured in Italy over the last 2 years and shipped to Camden in many sea containers. It sits in a pit constructed specifically for the machine that is 22 feet deep, supported by 6 feet of concrete and pilings going down 80 feet to bedrock.
The machine installation was completed with the insertion of the top roller, a 54” diameter solid steel forging weighting in at 178,000 pounds. A special 500-ton crane was brought in to set this large piece.
Along with the other large machines being installed at Holtec, this machine provides Holtec with capabilities that no other company can match. These unique capabilities are what sets Holtec apart as the leader in the Nuclear Industry.
