Izmir Demir Celik (IDC) has placed a contract with Concast Standard for the supply of new withdrawal and straightening units on an existing six-strand Concast billet caster.
The upgrade will increase Feng Hsin's SBQ production capacity by more than 25% without having to add an existing strand.
Work involves the implementation of Concast's Convex Technology, which includes new mould cartridges and mould tubes, as well as the installation of Concast's ConMax wide-angle secondary spray cooling system.
Start-up is scheduled for autumn, 2002.
In Prai, Malaysia, Southern Steel Berhad is upgrading its 5-strand continuous caster No.1.
Originally supplied by Concast in 1991, the new Concast contract will upgrade the caster to produce high carbon steel grades for wheel tyre cording.
The revamp involves installing high intensity (hard) cooling and improvements to the Level 1 control system, including a new graphical user interface.
Concast will also install its final electromagnetic stirrers on the caster to improve internal billet quality for the more demanding steel grades.
Awarded in February 2002, the contract specifies start-up in two stages for minimal disruption to production.
