Release time：Nov 08, 2019 From：admin

A Chinese steel producer located in Hebei Province has placed an order with Primetals Technologies for the supply of an Arvedi Endless Strip Production line. The casting-rolling facility will be part of a new steelmaking facility with one BOF currently under construction. The Arvedi ESP line is capable of rolling strip to a reproducible strip thicknesses down to 0.7 mm. This will enable the company to produce high-quality, ultra-thin strip to enter new market segments. Compared to conventional casting and rolling processes, energy consumption and the related costs are reduced by up to 45%. This also results in a major reduction in CO2 and NOx emissions, minimizing environmental impact. The plant is scheduled to go into operation in 2021.

The Arvedi ESP plant will allow the steel producer to better serve the highly attractive local and export markets for high-quality, thin-gauge strip products. The 180-meter-long plant is far more compact than conventional casting and rolling mills. The new plant is designed for the production of high-quality, ultra-thin, hot-rolled strip products with widths of up to 1,600 mm and thicknesses down to 0.7 mm. Carbon steels, high-strength low alloyed (HSLA) grades and dual-phase steels will be produced.

Primetals Technologies is responsible for the engineering of the Arvedi ESP plant and will supply mechanical equipment, media-control systems, technological packages and automation systems. The entire line is controlled by a completely integrated basic (Level 1) and process optimization (Level 2) automation, which fully controls all casting and rolling operations.
