A step forward towards safety

Greek steelmaker Sovel awarded Danieli Automation the order to modernize the entire electrical and automation system of its bar mill in Almyros, Magnissia.

The aim of the project is to increase production safety, stability and reliability –so that it will be ready for the future– by replacing obsolete hardware equipment with new and modern Danieli Automation devices and advanced process controls.

The mill is a single-strand bar rolling mill with slitting in a single line for medium bar diameters, and a double line with fast-finishing blocks, quenching, tail breakers and double twin channels for high-speed production of smaller sizes.

The project, complying with the European Machine Directive, will be implemented by August 2025.
