ALFA ACCIAI SELECTS ORIGINAL SPOOLER TECHNOLOGY TO PRODUCE 8-T COILS
Pioneer in endless rolling and spooling again relies on Danieli-patented winning solutions
me-metals: Alfa Acciai awarded Danieli the supply of a latest-generation spooler line to be installed at its Brescia works, in northern Italy.
According to me-metals cited from mining.com, The new line will replace the existing one and overcome the current weight limitation of 3 ton coils, allowing Alfa Acciai to produce rebar in coils weighing from 2.4 to 8 tons.
The selected equipment will deliver torsion-free, quality rebar in compact coils weighing up to 8 tons for diameters ranging from 8 to 16 mm. This range might be extended to 18 and 20 mm dia in future.
Bar spooling is an ideal match with the endless rolling processes, either casting-rolling or billet-welding rolling, exploiting productivity, yield, process stability.
Superior metallurgical characteristics for the final product are also achieved in this way.
Supported by Danieli billet welding and spooling technologies, Alfa Acciai was the first steelmaker to produce spooled bars in coils in endless mode, in 2007.
Original Danieli K-Spool technology allows reliable, continuous, torsion-free winding of “spooled” bars in coils up to 8 tons. This is the result of the Danieli research and continuous product development on 42 installations worldwide, and technological packages for advanced rebar production.
The hot start-up of the new spooler line of Alfa Acciai is scheduled for the beginning of 2026.
