Italian plantmaker Danieli has announced that it has supplied a new EWR/K-Welding unit for Vietnam-based steel producer Hoa Phat Steel’s rolling mill No. 4, located in Hai Duong, Vietnam, in order to perform endless rolling.
According to Danieli, with the installation of the new machine, the productivity of the mill, originally designed to produce 600,000 mt per year of rebar products, increased by approximately eight percent. The new machine welds 150 mm and 165 mm square billets to produce rebars in the range of 10-32 mm, while the mill finishes the bars up to 16 mm using two-strand slitting technology.
