Danieli said the mill, which will utilize its MIDA technology, will be set up to produce rebar and wire rod. It will be the most productive single-strand long products mini-mill in the world, Danieli said. 

The mill will include a 100-metric-ton Danieli Digimelt furnace and a single-strand caster equipped with Danieli’s newly patented Octocaster mold, which will form a continuous billet at speeds exceeding 7 m/min.

The rolling mill will have 20 AC-driven housingless stands in H and V configurations, feeding two lines for bundled rebar and wire rod.

Start-up is scheduled for early 2023.
