UK-based plantmaker Primetals Technologies has announced that it has received an order from Bangladesh-based long steel producer GPH Ispat Ltd for the supply of a mini-mill with a total annual capacity of 815,000 mt of finished products and billets. The order includes an electric arc furnace (EAF), a ladle furnace, a three-strand, high-speed continuous billet caster, and also a bar and section mill. The new equipment is scheduled to come into operation in early 2018. Primetals Technologies stated that this concept not only allows virtually uninterrupted casting and rolling of long products in accordance with national and international standards but also reduces investment and operating costs.
 
According to Primetals Technologies, the three-strand continuous billet caster, which is directly connected to the downstream rolling mill, will be designed to cast around 815,000 mt per year of billets with diameters ranging from 130 mm to 180 mm. Meanwhile, the bar and section mill has an annual production capacity of 640,000 mt at a maximum production rate of 120 mt per hour.
