International technology group ANDRITZ has received an order from Jiuquan Iron and Steel (Group) Co., Ltd., China. They are asked to supply a new, high-capacity pickling and galvanizing line for hot-rolled carbon steel strip. Start-up of the line is planned for the end of 2023.
The ANDRITZ scope of supplies and services comprises the engineering, equipment supply, supervision of erection, and commissioning of the complete pickling and galvanizing line. This is including the electrical and automation equipment.
With ANDRITZ’s sustainable technologies, this line will produce hot-dip galvanized (GI) or ZM-coated /(zinc-aluminum-magnesium) flat steel.
This order confirms the good and long-lasting relationship between ANDRITZ and Jiuquan Iron and Steel (Group). In 2004, ANDRITZ delivered and successfully commissioned a hot annealing and pickling line and a cold annealing and pickling line for stainless steel for Jiuquan Iron and steel (Group). This was followed by two 20-high cold-rolling mills delivered in 2006. Additionally, ANDRITZ has performed various upgrades and modernizations on existing lines.
