Hoa Phat operates four Danieli mills at Hai Duong and recently mill nr. 4 has been upgraded with an EWR/K-Welding unit, in order to perform endless rolling. The mill originally designed to produce 600,000 tpy of rebar products is fed 12-m long billets through a 115-t/h pusher-type reheating furnace. With the installation of the EWR/K-Welding unit the productivity of the mill increased by approximately 8%, with over 1% improvement of yield.

Danieli FATA Hunter was recently awarded a contract for the revamp after substantial fire of the existing mill in operation at OJSC Ural Foil in Mikhailovsk, Sverdlovsk region.

The goal of the project, including also a dedicated new high performance leveler, is improving the quality of the strip feeding the welder, increasing the reliability of the line and to significantly reduce maintenance and nonproductive times and costs.

In less than 16 months from the date of the contract signing, and ahead of the planned schedule, Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) and Danieli Fata Hunter have started up and produced the first coated coil with the new double-coat continuous coil coating line for steel at SDI Columbus, Mississippi facility. The 600-fpm line will process cold rolled, galvanized, pickled hot band and Galvalume® steel coils with a maximum width of 72” and a maximum base metal thickness of .076”.

The high-speed trimming line supplied to Henan Zhongfu is in full production, processing 250,000 metric tons per year of aluminium strip. The strip thickness of the main product is 0.1-0.8 mm, with widths in the range of 900-2.150 mm, for a maximum coil weight of 30 tons. The line’s maximum strip-cutting speed is 1,500 m/min, producing primarily alloys of series 1xx.x, 3xx.x, 5xx.x, and 8xx.x.

Vyksa Steel Works (AO VSW, Nizhniy Novgorod Region, a United Metallurgical Company (AO OMK, Moscow) Subsidiary) is announcing the signing of a contract with Danieli Automation, Italy, to implement an execution system.

Danieli will supply Acciaierie di Verona, part of Pittini Group, Italy, a new two-strand wirerod mill along with a new six-strand billet caster. The purpose of Pittini Group investment is to increase its wirerod production of 700,000 tpy. The mill is characterized by an H-V rougher feeding two independent rolling lines made of cantilever roll stands, featuring quick roll change, and temperature control along the mill and downstream.
