ArcelorMittal Plans Improvements to Jumbo Beam Mill
08/29/2016 - Danieli has won an order for upgrades to the finishing end of ArcelorMittal’s jumbo beam mill in Luxembourg, the equipment manufacturer has announced.
Danieli said ArcelorMittal’s Differdange facility has ordered a 9-roll straightener to replace the two gag presses used to manually straighten pieces. The new straightener will have a 2,500 cubic centimeter modulus, making it the world’s largest, Danieli said.
“The double-support design of the new Danieli heavy-duty machine will allow both web and flange-tip straightening. Automatic roll adjustment and automatic roll change are fully hydraulic; the change of all nine straightening rolls will take less than 25 minutes,” Danieli said in a statement.
The order also calls for the extension of the existing cooling bed and installation of a new cold-disc saw and automatic roll transfer system. Danieli Automation will supply the electrical and automation packages.
The new finishing equipment is to come on-line in early 2018, the company said.
