NLMK commissions new hot-dip galvanizing line
Oct 23, 2009
Novolopetsk Steel (NLMK) has commissioned the fourth Hot-dip galvanizing line (HDGL-4) with an annual capacity of 300,000 tonnes at the main production site in Lipetsk, Russia. The thin galvanized steel (down to 0.22 mm) will allow the Company to expand its product mix.
The new process line is designed for the production of wide hot-dip galvanized flats with a thickness ranging from 0.22 mm to 0.8 mm and width ranging from 900 mm to 1,270 mm on the basis of low carbon steel grades. This product is primarily used in construction and white goods manufacturing.
At present, domestic demand for this type of thin galvanized flats is satisfied mainly by imports. After the commissioning of the new line, NLMK will enter the market with new high value added products that have never been produced in Russia before. Moreover, it will increase its galvanized steel production capacity which will reach 1.2 million tonnes per year. About 50% of the volume produced at HDGL-4 will be further processed into pre-painted steel.
The new line was installed in the NLMK's dynamo steel shop where previously a heat-treatment and coating line was based. This optimization of the production space in the dynamo steel production shop allowed the company to use its production facilities more effectively and reduce overall project costs without any decrease in dynamo steel capacities.
The total value of the project, implemented within the framework of NLMK's
Technical Upgrade and Development Program in cooperation with Andritz Sundwig (Germany), is over RUR 2.5 billion.
