NLMK revamps its melt shop
Jun 16, 2011
NLMK has started the installation of main equipment for the revamped continuous casting machine No.3 (CCM) at its main production site in Lipetsk. As a result, CCM production capacity will increase by more than 300,000 t/a, up to 1 mln t/a.
CCM-3 will produce a wide mix of high-quality slabs of various steel grades. State of the art equipment, 20 - 25 % higher casting speeds and longer interrepair periods will boost the efficiency of the CCM. Product mix will expand with an increase in maximum slab thickness from 240 to 315 mm, allowing NLMK to roll wide thick plate at its subsidiaries in Europe (DanSteel, Clabecq).
3,000 tonnes of new equipment manufactured by NKMZ (Ukraine) and NLMK's in-house repair plant will be installed. Launch of the CCM is planned for Q4 2011. Total investments exceed RUR3.7 bln (or about $120 m).
The project is part of the Company's ongoing strategy aimed at the expansion of steelmaking capacity following the start up of the new 3.4 mln t/a blast furnace No.7, currently in its final stages of construction at the Lipetsk site.
