ANDRITZ to supply new direct rolling, annealing and pickling line to Jindal Stainless, India
International technology Group ANDRITZ has received an order from Jindal Stainless, India, to supply a new direct rolling, annealing and pickling line (DRAP-L).
The new line will have an annual capacity of approximately 700,000 metric tons of cold-rolled, stainless steel strip in the 200, 300 and 400 series. Start-up of the line is planned for the end of 2022.
The ANDRITZ scope of supplies and services includes the terminal equipment, three inline S6-high rolling mills, the furnace and pickling section, a skin pass mill, and automation of the complete process section. The new line will increase capacity, improve quality and enhance the company’s ability to compete thanks to the innovative line configuration.
This order confirms the strong relationship between ANDRITZ and Jindal Stainless. In 2008, ANDRITZ successfully delivered and erected two annealing and pickling lines for Jindal Stainless Limited, Odisha, India.
Jindal Stainless Limited, founded in 1970, is by far the largest producer of stainless steel strip in India and a leading stainless steel company worldwide.
