Danieli to Supply Meltshop & Bloom Caster to OMK

United Metallurgical Company OMK, a Metal-Expo regular exhibitor, has contracted Danieli Centro Met to supply a new EAF meltshop and seven-strand bloom caster, to be installed at Vyksa works in Russia and produce up to 1.8 million tonnes per year of steel, of which 800,000 tonnes will be cast in blooms for pipes, railroad wheels and springs. Danieli will supply a 180 tonne electric arc furnace, two twin-ladle furnaces, one vacuum degasser, and a bloom conticaster, plus a fume-treatment plant.

The new EAF will be controlled by the Q-Melt artificial intelligence package for automatic melting process management, as well as with full suite of Danieli automatic tapping tools including EAF tilting, EBT filling and EBT unclogging and cleaning. A three-tank vacuum degasser will serve two new casters (with two ladles under vacuum treatment and one in trimming.)

The 15-meter nominal radius caster will produce billets and blooms, with diameters from 170 to 455 mm. It will be equipped with the latest technological packages, including FastCast Cube oscillator with Hy-Power Drive, Q-EMS dynamic stirring technology, and Q-COOL air-mist cooling.

The new Vyksa complex will be implemented nearby the existing Danieli QSP minimill producing API grades including Arctic steel.Plant startup is foreseen in 2023.
