Germany-based plantmaker SMS Group has announced that its subsidiary SMS Concast has received an order from National Iranian Steel Company (NISCO), which belongs to the state-owned Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization (IMIDRO), for a new six-strand billet casting machine to be installed at the company’s new steel complex in Miyaneh. The plant will be part of a newly built EAF-based meltshop and designed for an annual capacity of more than 800,000 mt of billets.
The new steel complex of NISCO built in Miyaneh, a city in the province of East Azerbaijan in the northwest of Iran, is expected to serve as a basis for the industrial development of the province.
SMS Concast will supply the latest technology to achieve the specified quality and productivity targets in the shortest possible time. The six-strand caster will produce billets of low, medium and high-carbon steels, among others, for rebar production.
