Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it will supply new finishing equipment for global steel producer ArcelorMittal’s jumbo beam mill in Differdange, Luxembourg.
The core of the project consists in the installation of a new 9-roll straightener, which will be the largest-ever built, to replace the manual straightening operations. The extension of the existing cooling bed, a new cold disc saw and related handling equipment including an automatic system to transfer the rolls from the production line to a new roll setup and preparation area, will complete the plant upgrade. The plant start-up is scheduled for the beginning of 2018.
