Sunflag Iron and Steel Co has selected Danieli India Ltd. for supplying the drives and process automation for a new, 320,000 tonnes per year SBQ bar mill in Bhandara in Maharashtra in India. There, the Sunflag Group has set up a state-of-the-art integrated plant to produce high-quality, special steel rolled products, starting from liquid pig iron and sponge iron.
The new bar rolling mill will be placed after the existing blooming mill, previously installed by Danieli Morgårdshammar, in order to produce steel bars in diameters ranging from 45 to 120 mm. The supply includes new Level 1 automation, instrumentation, AC main drives, regenerative DC common bus technology, auxiliary drives, main stand and shear LV motors, and motor control centers for the bar mill.
Sunflag I&S chose Danieli Automation both for its consolidated know-how in rolling mill process control and for its proven capability to deliver complete automation systems in a very short time.
