Tenova achieved the first heat of the melting unit for MCC Beris Jiangsu Heavy Industry Corp. - Feida Group in China: a medium and heavy plate casting-rolling production line. The technology combines Tenova electric arc furnace (EAF) and Consteel® with other technologies from Beris.
 
The plant is located in Jiangsu province, an industrial area near Shanghai. It is equipped with a Consteel system and a 250 tonnes-per-hour EAF feeding a continuous casting unit for slab production.
