Danieli Centro Maskin has commissioned a new HGS300 slab-grinding unit at its STS1 Plant. Equipped with a 250-kW motor on the main unit, the new grinder works on 140- to 220-mm thick stainless steel slabs, up to 1.65 m wide and 10.5m long, to ensure an output of approximately 200,000 tpy in full skin-grinding mode at an average removal depth of 2 mm per slab face.
The plant is equipped with CastGrind technology to process material with surface temperatures up to 700°C, as well as Hi-Grind, the E-Cube set-up for stepless-angle grinding from 45 to 90 degrees. An updated automation platform was developed by Danieli Automation.
This is an important milestone in the collaboration between Danieli Centro Maskin and Posco. To date, Danieli Cento Maskin has put a total of 30 grinders into operation with Posco, 18 of which are for slab grinding.
