Hot strip in plate dimensions
For JSW Steel (Dolvi Works), the CSP® Nexus plant in India is opening up entirely new perspectives in terms of energy efficiency and productivity. For the first time, it will be possible to produce both hot strip in conventional strip sizes as well as in widths and thicknesses of plates on a single plant for use in shipbuilding or wind turbine construction, or for API tube grades, for example. With thicknesses ranging from 2 to 32 mm and maximum widths of up to 2,600 mm, the CSP® Nexus for JSW Dolvi offers a previously unmatched level of flexibility in the product portfolio.
The plant boasts a maximum annual capacity of 4 million t with provision of additional 3 million t by adding a second casting strand in future. JSW Steel is able to venture into new market segments under attractive conditions, particularly into the growing markets for green, sustainably manufactured steel products.
The advanced digital solutions from SMS group are making a significant contribution to eco-friendly and efficient plant operation. By implementing the SMS DataFactory, the QES quality management system, and the Genius CM condition monitoring software, JSW is making major improvements in terms of energy minimization, production forecasts, and condition monitoring. The intelligent tools enable comprehensive data collection and analysis to make sound decisions that significantly optimize both product quality and production volume.
