Danieli to Supply Three FastCast Casters to Vizag Steel
12/04/2007 - Rashtriya Ispat Nigam contracts Danieli to supply three new FastCast™ Casters to produce up to 2.4 million tonnes/year of square billets and 0.33 million tonnse/year of round sections at their Visakhapatnam Steel Plant integrated steel plant in India.
Danieli has been contracted by Rashtriya Ispat Nigam (RINL) to supply three new FastCast™ Casters to produce up to 2.4 million tonnes/year of square billets and 0.33 million tonnes/year of round sections in engineering steels at their Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) integrated steel plant in India.
Danieli will supply two 10-meter-radius, six-strand casters, designed to cast 150 to 200-mm square billets in low-, medium- and high-carbon steels. The third 10-meter-radius, six-strand caster will be designed to cast 150- to 200-mm squares, and 220-, 280-, and 350-mm diameter round blooms in low-, medium-, and high-carbon steels as well as tube steels.
All three casters will be suitable for operating in both open and submerged casting modes and will be equipped with hydraulic oscillation tables and Danieli Rotelec mold EMS to achieve high surface, sub-surface, and internal quality.
The bloom caster also will feature Final EMS to further improve core quality and minimize carbon segregation.
Danieli’s scope of supply covers the technology, design, manufacture, and complete assembly with mechanical and electrical equipment on a semi-turnkey basis. Danieli will also provide the fire protection system, air conditioning, and pneumatic system. The entire unit will be installed in the No. 2 Steel Meltshop (SMS2) which will receive 2.8 million tonnes/year treated liquid steel from the secondary refining units.
Supply and installation of the new units will be carried out by Danieli Centro Met in consortium with Danieli Engineering India Ltd. (DEIL), based in Kolkata, and M/s Gillanders Arbuthnot (Unit-MICCO), with the target of 25 months from contract-effective date.
