Material Range & Grades
The variety of fabrication materials in which EKME is experienced, include carbon steel and low carbon steel, stainless steel, specialty alloys (duplex, incolloy 600/800, hastelloy), copper and nickel alloys, titanium and clad materials.
| Material | Min.Thk. (for economical competitivity) |
Max. Possible Thk. | Min.Weight (for economical competitivity) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carbon Steel | 10 mm | 130 mm | 2.5 tns |
| Low Alloy | 10 mm | 130 mm | 2.5 tns |
| High Alloy | 6 mm | 100 mm | 2.5 tns |
The size/weight limitations applicable to EKME’s Thessaloniki plant production are shown below. For larger items, EKME, in agreement with the Thessaloniki Port Authority (TPA s.a.), utilizes a dedicated area within the port (the Port Assembly Area) where final assembly or modularization works are carried out by EKME’s shop personnel. This allows EKME to deliver even extreme size modules or equipment near the loading dock of the port, from where they can be shipped to final destination.
| Max vessel diameter | 10m |
|---|---|
| Max length | 80 m @ shop 100 m @ Port Assembly Yard |
| Maximum plate rolling capacity | 130 mm @ 2000mm width |
| Maximum plate cutting thickness | 250mm |
| Maximum tubesheet drill thickness | 350mm |
| Weight Limit (per single item) | 300 ton @ shop 500 tons @ Port Assembly Yard |
Production Capacity (annual – single shift)
EKME’s Thessaloniki plant has the following annual capacity, per different product categories. Please note that these figures represent capacity under a single-shift work schedule, therefore they can be increased by the application of a second work-shift.
