Acerinox, a global stainless steel manufacturing group, contracted Danieli Automation for the electrical and automation revamp of the stainless steel slab caster at Columbus Stainless (Pty) Ltd., Mpumalanga, South Africa.

The Chinalco Steckel mill plant has been designed to produce 4,000 tpy of plates and 58,000 tpy of coils for stainless and non-ferrous alloys (titanium, nickel and copper) for a total capacity of 62,000 tpy. The steel plant has a compact design and the complete line, from cast ingot furnaces to the plate finishing line fits into just 200 m. The line is completed by a bottom-drive vertical edger, to control material spread during the rolling process; a flying crop shear, to guarantee the good shape of head/tail before the coiling in the coiling drums; U-tube laminar cooling to guarantee the proper cooling and ensure the metallurgic characteristic of the end products; and a hot plate leveler.

A new Danieli Centro Maskin grinding machine for stainless steel billets has been started up successfully North American Stainless.
