Production Process.
Our integrated steel plant (mini mill concept) produces steel sections using the following process steps.
-
Scrap Yard
A mixture of various types of scrap is our most important raw material for the production of steel sections. -
Melting Shop
The scrap is molten in the direct current electric arc furnace. This uses as much energy as a town of 100.000 inhabitants. The next step is the ladle furnace. Here we add alloys to produce the steel grade required. -
Casting Shop
As a preparation for the further process steps the molten steel is poured into moulds for producing beams. We use the continuous casting machine for parallel casting of 4 beams blanks. The flame cutting machine cuts the beams to lengths between 4.5 and 11 meters. -
Rolling Train
After preheating to 1250° we produce the steel sections as per the customer's specification on three rolling stand groups. -
Finishing Department
The sections are straightened, sawn to the ordered lengths, bundled and labelled. -
Dispatch
Our products are shipped via wagon or truck to the customers in Europe and all over the world. Our steel sections are used on important construction sites worldwide.
