🚨 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝’𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫! 🚨 🔥Wuyang Iron and Steel, in collaboration with Primetals Technologies, has successfully produced the first slab on its ultra-thick single-strand continuous caster in China. Single Roll DynaGap (SRD) segments adjust each roll separately and dynamically to changing production parameters. 🌏 With a record-breaking 5,000 kilonewtons of force per roll – the equivalent of 15 fully loaded trucks, this caster is now the most powerful of its kind globally – capable of delivering slabs up to 460 mm thick! Partially replaces traditional ingot casting and cuts operational costs, even when producing challenging steel grades. This achievement sets new global benchmarks in steel production and marks a major leap toward high-efficiency, high-end steel manufacturing for industries like: 💨 Offshore wind power ⚛️ Nuclear power 🛢️ Pressure vessels 🏗️ Engineering machinery 🚢 Shipbuilding 👏 Congratulations to the teams at Wuyang and Primetals for pushing the boundaries of innovation in steelmaking! 📢 Read the full press release here 👉 https://brnw.ch/21wUyxt #WuyangSteel #ContinousCaster #Automation #HighEfficiency

✨𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐨𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 📊 As energy prices rise and environmental regulations tighten, steel producers are under pressure to optimize operations. The Encopanel heat retention system offers a smart solution to cut energy consumption and operating costs. 💡How it works? The Encopanel system is a thermal tunnel with heat-reflecting membranes which re-radiates usually lost heat to the transfer bar. This reduces heat loss during rolling, minimizing the reheat furnace time and reducing the discharge temperature. Key Benefits: ✅ Significant reduction in energy consumption ✅ Lower CO₂ emissions from reduced furnace usage ✅ Enhanced sustainability and cost-efficiency in steel production ♻️ By combining heat-reflective membranes with ceramic fiber insulation, Encopanels help make hot strip mills more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. 📲 Explore the complete article in Metals Magazine for in-depth insights: https://brnw.ch/21wUmng #Encopanels #EnergyEfficiency #HotStripMills #Innovation
