Danieli to Supply JFE Steel’s New Digimeltshop
07/03/2025 - JFE Steel has turned to Danieli to provide new digitally controlled electric arc furnace (EAF) and secondary refining stations to be installed at its West Japan Works in Kurashiki.
Danieli said the facility will have one of the largest EAFs in the world in terms of tapping capacity. The new digimeltshop will feature a Digimelter®, Zerobucket EAF and a Digirefiner equipped with the Q-One advanced power supply system to produce molten steel.
The Q-One power feeder improves efficiency by reducing power and electrode consumption, reducing negative impacts on the power network and increasing flexibility of operation through redundant architecture. It allows control of current, voltage and frequency in the EAF operation, the company said.
Danieli will also supply packages including Q-Stap, Q-Strop, Q-EBT Sand, Q-Slag and Thor 3K. They are estimated to reduce power-off time and improve safety around the EAF area.
The company said the new facility is scheduled to be operational in the first quarter of 2028.
