SFRE delivers qualified equipment for Rizhao Steel ESP4

The director of Primetals China’s procurement and supply chain has applauded a CISDI Group subsidiary for its efficiency.

Sabine Bobek sent a letter of thanks to SFRE for its sterling contribution to the redevelopment of Shandong Rizhao Steel’s ESP4 production line.

The ESP4 line started up successfully and rolled out its first coil in early April. It has run stably throughout its test run.

CISDI is the general contractor for the project and delivered its well-proven equipment and units, with Primetals from Austria undertaking the technological leadership for imported equipment.

SFRE delivered the traversing and pile-up device, entry and exit induction heaters, roller guides for the induction heaters, guide stands and entry guides.

Bobek commented that the manufacturing schedule and delivery of auxiliary equipment was well controlled and ran on-time, and that during commissioning CISDI’s supervision engineers were always on hand to deal with site problems and any client concerns. There had been ‘friendly and effective cooperation’ with Primetals and this had contributed to the line’s success.
