Czech upgrade for Tenova
Tenova Strip Processing has been awarded an order for a new
silicon steel line for the Frydek-Mistek plant upgrade in the
Czech Republic.
Tenova has acquired an order from Valcovny Plechu, of the
Arcelor-Mittal group, for the first of six operations planned
as part of the project to upgrade the plant in Frydek-Mistek,
30km from the city of Ostrava.
The order is relevant to the supply of a complete silicon
steel line.
This line is a medium size installation for the application of a
magnesium-based thermal insulator on grain-oriented steel
plate with magnetic properties.
Tenova will provide all the mechanical, electrical and hydraulic
engineering, assembly supervision and plant start-up.
Installation will begin in March with start-up scheduled before
summer. The line will deliver an annual production of 73,000
tons of steel with magnetic properties, to be used for electrical
applications. This order is in addition to the three plants
currently under construction – one in Novolipetsk, Russia, for
NLMK and two in Wuhan, China, for WISCO.
