Leading Indian steelmaker goes for DynaGap Soft Reduction technology again

Steel producer Jindal South West Steel Ltd. (JSW Steel) has ordered a new continuous slab caster from Siemens VAI Metals Technologies for its steel works in Toranagallu, Karnataka State, India. As with caster no. 3, also supplied by Siemens, the new casting plant will be equipped with DynaGap Soft Reduction. This solution enables the taper and thickness to be controlled automatically at every point of the strand guiding system to create the basic conditions for high internal slab quality. The continuous slab caster will have an annual production capacity of 1.4 million tons and is to be commissioned in the middle of 2013.
