Diler Iron and Steel Industry and Trade Inc,
part of Diler Holding and a leading Turkish
company specializing in wire rod coils for
automotive applications, has ordered a
new bell-type annealing plant from Danieli
Olivotto Ferrè, for heat treating coils in a
protective atmosphere.
The new plant, to be installed in Kocaeli
(Turkey), is designedmainly for spheroidizing
annealing of coiled rods and wire and will
accommodate charges stacked up to
1,900mm high (indicating a charge weight
of between 1,650kg and 2,350kg).
The plant will process coils under a
protective nitrogen protective atmosphere
and will consist of three bases designed for
a maximum workload capacity of 40 tons,
plus two bell furnaces and a cooling hood.
The workspace volume for both diameter
and height is 4,000mm: large dimensions
allow each base to load stacks of up to
seven coils, ensuring the highest production
flexibility and charge configuration.

Ailes Marines’ offshore Brittany wind farm
is, at present, France’s largest marine
renewable energy project, designed to
produce 496MW when at full power.
Plans have been approved for the Baie de
Saint-Brieuc development, where 62 wind
turbines will cover 103km
2
. The €2.5 billion
project will start producing power in 2020
and supply an estimated 1,850GWh per
year to the French national grid.
At its closest the site will be 16km off the
Brittany coast, between Ile de Bréhat and
Saint-Malo. Having been a key location
during the Second World War the area has
been swept for unexploded mines and
bombs.
Offshore construction is due to begin in the
latter part of 2018, funded by Ailes Marines’
backers, Iberdrola, RES and Caisse des
Depots.
