The most modern continuous casting plant in the world goes into operation

In September, the new CC4 continuous bloom casting plant of voestalpine Stahl Donawitz GmbH in Leoben was commissioned. The fully digitalised plant, which complies with industry 4.0 standards, has four lines and is designed for an annual production of 1 million tonnes of top-quality blooms. The fully automated production process allows the finest control of parameters in terms of purity and structural homogeneity.

Primetals Technologies was responsible for the basic and detail engineering, supply and construction of the plant and supervised the commissioning. Bilfinger Industrials Service GmbH carried out the installation of the plant and awarded the industrial surveying department of Geodata ZT Gmbh with the contract for the surveying work accompanying the installation.
