Bhushan Power & Steel, India, has placed an order with SMS Demag for the extension of its CSP® facility.
The order comprises the installation of a second casting strand, and extension of the rolling mill with a sixth stand and a second coiler.
Bhushan Power & Steel’s CSP plant is still under construction in the Indian province of Orissa. It will go into operation in the spring of 2008 as a single-strand facility. In its present extension stage, the mill attains an annual capacity of 800,000 tonnes with a maximum strip width of 1300 mm.
