Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that in January this year India-based Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) started production at its plate plant in Raigarh, India, which was modernized by Danieli.
With the target to overcome some quality limitations of the plate plant, to increase productivity up to 1.2 million mt per year, to extend the product mix and to solve some maintenance issues of the mechanical equipment, in July 2013 JSPL awarded Danieli the contract for a major revamping project at the plant. The revamping strategy was to renew the whole mill by installing new motors, stands, down coilers, etc., while minimizing shutdown times. The modernization was performed during two shutdowns in July 2014 and December 2015.
