Saarstahl AG banks on continuous casting technology from SMS Concast and orders five-strand billet caster
(PresseBox) - Saarstahl AG, Völklingen, has ordered a five-strand billet caster for their steelplant in Völklingen, Germany, from SMS Concast. The new casting plant is going to be designed for an annual capacity of 850,000 tons of billets. Start of operation is planned for the third quarter of 2019.
The new casting machine, to be named S1, will produce 180 x 180 millimeter square billets in a wide range of steel grades, including bearing steels, spring steels, cold heading wire rod and free-cutting steels.

The S1 continuous casting machine will come with state-of-the-art equipment such as Convex molds, hydraulic mold oscillator, electromagnetic mold and strand stirrers, mechanical soft reduction and modern automation and communication technology according to Industry 4.0 standards.
