This project was part of an extensive technical upgrading program currently underway at this rolling mill and at the Steel Melting Shop. “This investment solidifies our position in the plates market as we can now deliver new and better products with better services for customers”, said Bruno Ribo, Chief Executive Officer of ArcelorMittal Galati.

The new plate leveler replaced a machine that had been operating for over 30 years, increasing significantly the overall performances in terms of productivity, quality, consistency of flatness in the finished products and operational safety.

With 80% more leveling power and advanced automation, the new Danieli Hot Leveler ensures also the production of a higher range of thicknesses and qualities for plates used in applications such as energy pipes, shipbuilding and construction.

The project and construction works were carried out without disruption to ongoing production, without any safety issue.

ArcelorMittal is currently operating another Danieli high-performance, hot leveler installed at Gijon plant, in Spain.
