Primetals Technologies to Upgrade Tokyo Steel’s Hot-Dip Galvanizing Line
06/26/2025 - Tokyo Steel has awarded Primetals Technologies, in collaboration with thermal technology company Chugai Ro and global electrification provider Hitachi, an order for the upgrade of a hot-dip galvanizing line at its Okayama Works.
The company said while the project will use annealing equipment already in place, improvements will include installing induction heating technology in the front section and enhanced cooling capacity in the latter section. The updates will allow the line to manufacture both cold-rolled and hot-dip galvanized coil.
Primetals Technologies will be responsible for engineering and equipment supply for terminal equipment and skinpass mill modifications. In collaboration with Chugai Ro and Hitachi, the company will provide engineering and supply of the annealing furnace equipment, along with supervising installation and commissioning.
