According to Danieli, Danieli Centro Cranes will outfit the meltshop with a 290(400)/75/25 short ton charging crane, two 290/75/25 short ton teeming cranes and a 220/45 short ton caster bay crane. 

“The ordered cranes will feature a semi-automatic positioning system suitable to assist operators to optimize production cycle time and safety, guiding cranes to reference locations. A regenerative-drive control system will make it possible to recover the dissipated energy during the braking time,” Danieli said. 

The cranes are scheduled for delivery in 2021, Danieli said.

Nucor last fall awarded Danieli with the contract for the mill’s major meltshop and plate rolling equipment.
