Continuous bloom caster modernized by Primetals Technologies receives FAC from Zenith Steel, China
SHARE
In November, Chinese steel producer Changzhou Zhongtian Iron & Steel (Zenith Steel) awarded the final
acceptance certificate (FAC) for a continuous bloom casting machine modernized by Primetals
Technologies. The caster has an annual production of around 1.3 million metric tons of blooms with both
round and square cross-sections. The objective of the modernization was to be able to cast an additional
blank format with a rectangular cross-section of 280 x 320 millimeters. The blooms are then further
processed into round bars in the company's own rolling mill, which has been specially adapted for this
purpose.
