Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has received an order from the German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG to upgrade the entire strip cooling system in ThyssenKrupp's hot strip mill No. 1 at Duisburg-Bruckhausen, Germany to the latest state of the art.
The order involves the installation of a rough strip cooling system, an intensive ‘power cooling' section and a new laminar cooling unit. The value of the order is more than €10 million and the project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2013.
With this new cooling section, ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe will be able to increase the throughput of the entire rolling mill.
