In a statement, Danieli said the line, to be installed at Abul Khair’s Chittagong facility, will have a capacity of 200,000 metric tons annually and will coat strip in thicknesses from 0.12 mm to 1.0 mm and up to 1,350 mm wide. 

The line will produce steels for the construction and, later, the white goods markets. 

“The combination of the installed technologies will allow Abul Khair Steel to achieve production of GL coating down to 50 g/m² for both sides at 210 m/min, with a maximum deviation of +/-2.5%,” Danieli said. 

Equipment deliveries are set for this year, Danieli said.
