Primetals Technologies has received an order from Ukrainian steel producer "Iljitsch" Metallurgical Combinate in Mariupol (MMKI) to engineer a continuous slab caster, a twin ladle furnace with an alloying station, and the associated dedusting system.
The two-strand caster CC4 will be designed to produce 2.5 million tons of slabs per annum.
This will increase MMKI's annual production capacity to around 4 million tons, as well as enhance and expand its product portfolio to include, for example, HC, UHC and ULC steels.
A level 3 heat-pacing solution will coordinate steel production with the casting operation.
