TISCO upgrades slab casters
According to recent market reports, Tata Iron & Steel Company (TISCO) is planning to upgrade three of its single strand
slab casters in Jamshedpur,
India.
TISCO will convert the existing curved mould to a straight mould to renovate the first
slab caster. With this renovation, the company can produce higher quality strip products. TISCO considers to upgrade the other two casters by increasing the casting speed and productivity.
The renovation will be done by VAI
UK, a subsidiary of Voest-Alpine Industrieanlagenbau (VAI) of
Austria, at a cost of £4.5 million (around $7.5 million).
After the renovation, TISCO will be able to produce high quality
slab at a higher
production rate.
