India-based JSW Steel has ordered two straightening lines for steel bars from Italian steelmaker Danieli for its Salem Works in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
The two lines will be fully automated and highly productive, and capable of conditioning a wide range of diameters, reaching straightening speeds up to 120 m/min., Danieli explained.
“The high-efficiency Danieli solutions featuring advanced automation equipment and process control integrated into a user-friendly interface will allow JSW Salem to benefit from savings up to 15 percent in energy consumption and full-line setup times,” the Italian plantmaker added.
The plants, concluded Danieli, will ensure “a mechanical action will be carried out on the whole circumference of bars to obtain excellent straightening, up to 0.5 mm/m for as-rolled steel (up to 0.1 mm/m for bright steel).”
