The Arvedi ESP line is capable of rolling strip to a reproducible strip thicknesses down to 0.7 mm. This will enable the company to produce high-quality, ultra-thin strip to enter new market segments. Compared to conventional casting and rolling processes, energy consumption and the related costs are reduced by up to 45 %. This also results in a major reduction in CO₂ and NO_x emissions, minimizing environmental impact. The plant is scheduled to go into operation in 2021.
Primetals is responsible for the engineering of the Arvedi ESP plant and will supply mechanical equipment, media-control systems, technological packages and automation systems. The entire line is controlled by a completely integrated basic (Level 1) and process optimization (Level 2) automation, which fully controls all casting and rolling operations.
