MaSteel to operate the largest beam-blank caster in the world
Danieli technology is selected again by the Chinese top producer to consolidate market leadership
The new two-strand, 12m-radius continuous casting machine ordered by MaSteel from Danieli will produce the largest beam blanks in the world.
The largest among the three beam-blank sections will measure 1300x510x140 mm and with a linear weight of almost 2700 kg/m.
The caster, which will be supplied also with a two twin-moulds, will enable the casting of 550x280 mm blooms on four strands.
The new continuous caster of MaSteel will be equipped with advanced Danieli technological packages, such as the Q-INMO oscillator with twin cylinders to support the big sections and provide full flexibility in guaranteeing top surface quality. Full Danieli Automation L1 and L2 systems will include Danieli Liquid Pool Control System to have an accurate and balanced secondary cooling.
Thanks to this investment MaSteel will consolidate its leadership in the Chinese market for sections, with H-beams in sizes never reached before.
This project, part of MaSteel’s 35-year strategy, will be the third long-product conticaster project between Maashan and Danieli in the last 15 years.
