EFFICIENT
& FLEXIBLE
The information provided in this brochure contains a general description of the performance characteristics of the products concerned. The actual products may not always have these
characteristics as described and, in particular, these may change as a result of further developments of the products. The provision of this information is not intended to have and will
not have legal effect. An obligation to deliver products having particular characteristics shall only exist if expressly agreed in the terms of the contract.
ENERGY SAVINGS
Rising prices for energy carriers and
the wish for greener technologies led
us to realize a technology which is
able to produce the whole range of
thicknesses with the best energy to
quality ratio for each thickness.
CONTINUOUS CASTER
High-performance vertical liquid bending (VLB) machine for highest productivity through latest technology. Batch
mode of the plant makes a second
caster possible to further increase the
yearly production. The VLB caster is
based on over 50 years of experience
in slab casting technology.

INDUCTIVE HEATER
An indispensable component in order
to achieve the flexibility of the CEM
plant is the inductive heater. Activating the inductors in endless mode will
result in optimum temperature of the
intermediate strip and the extension
of the product spectrum.

LAMINAR COOLING
Various mechanical properties are set
during cooling. Reinforced laminar
cooling lines can reduce the amount
of costly alloying elements needed to
achieve required mechanical properties.

CAST & ROLLING MILL
The combination of batch and endless
production modes offers a unique
range of products with highest quality.
A CEM plant exploits the advantages
of both production modes as shown
in the specific energy consumption
of a 100 % endless plant compared
to the CEM plants optimum mix of
production modes.

QUALITY
The homogeneous temperature distribution of the slab that is ensured by the
tunnel furnace allows for improved hot
strip quality.
Tighter geometrical tolerances can be
achieved in ultra-thin strip production.
PROCESS CONTROL
Keeping up of production during a
work-roll change facilitates the process
control. Flexible plant operation is made
possible by selective batch and endless
operation.
Adaptation to up- and downstream
process disturbances are realized by
widening the casting speed range.
STEEL GRADES
PLANT CAPACITY
The batch mode enables the production of special steel grades that require
decoupling of casting and rolling.

MATERIAL FLOW
All requirements regarding material flow
and tracking in batch and endless production modes can be fulfilled by correct
shear positioning within the plant.
The endless process is made possible by
implementing the high speed shear.
10 HC
High carbon steel grades are
used as tools, blades, ploughs
and straps due to their hardenability and high strength.
