HBIS Laoting was founded in 2017 in order to transfer production capacities out of the core city of Tangshan, and belongs to HBIS Group Co., Ltd. HBIS Group is one of China’s largest iron and steel material manufacturers and comprehensive service suppliers.
The two-strand continuous slab caster is designed for a production capacity of 2 million metric t/a. It has a machine radius of 9.5 m and a metallurgical length of 35.1 m. It casts slabs with a thickness of 230 mm in widths ranging from 800 to 1,600 mm. The maximum casting speed is 1.8 m/min. The range of products covers ultra-low carbon and low carbon steels, deep drawn, structural peritectic alloyed steels, and pipe grades.
Primetals is responsible for the detail engineering of the casting platform and the strand- guiding system, the basic and detail engineering of the maintenance area, as well as the engineering of the automation and the software for the new continuous slab caster. The scope of supply includes the complete electrical installations and automation, as well as core components, such as mold and mold oscillator, bender and Smart Segments for the strand-guide system. Primetals will also supervise the installation and commissioning, and conduct the customer training on site. A LiquiRob system will manipulate the hydraulic cylinder of the ladle slide gate and the media connection in the ladle area. Another LiquiRob system on the ladle caster platform will manipulate the ladle shrouds, measure the temperatures, and control the firing of the ladles.
