UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has announced that it has received an order from the Italian steel producer Ferriera Valsabbia S.p.A. to supply ERT-EBROS endless rolling technology for the company's existing bar rolling mill in Odolo, Brescia province.
The aim is to boost plant output and utilization levels. The system welds together billets intended for rolling, thus enabling a continuous rolling process with a consistently high product quality. The new ERT-EBROS plant will be designed for an annual production capacity of 900,000 metric tons and is scheduled to commence operation in September 2018. It is the first ERT-EBROS system in Italy.
