Jan. 2006 — Arcelor has selected Danieli as supplier of its new bar mill to be installed at the existing steel complex in Warszaw, Poland.

Danieli’s supply will be on a complete turnkey basis, excluding civil works, and will include all technological equipment making up the mill. The supply also includes all associated auxiliary plants and systems, such as water treatment plant, emergency diesel generator, etc.

The 18-stand Danieli Morgårdshammar mill will be made up of heavy-duty SHS housingless stands with automatic fast changing system for maximized mill efficiency and operation flexibility. Danieli Automation will supply the advanced L1 and L2 automation system, as well as all mill drives (full-digital AC type) and electrical equipment for the mill and all auxiliary services.

The mill will be fed by a 160-tonne per hour Danieli Centro Combustion walking-hearth reheat furnace which will be directly connected to the existing continuous caster for direct hot charging of billets.

The new superflexible mill will be able to produce a very broad range of product sizes and steel grades. Its installation will complete the steel meltshop, which was previously supplied by Danieli in the mid-1990s. Plant start-up is scheduled in 2007.
