Germany-based steelmaker ThyssenKrupp has announced that it has started revamping one of the continuous casters at its Duisburg-Beeckerwerth works, with an investment of €90 million. Continuous caster No. 1 is scheduled to go back into operation in just under eight weeks. The work is being carried out in parallel with the relining of blast furnace No. 2 in order to minimize production losses.
 
With its 2.3 million annual production capacity, continuous caster No. 1 is designed to produce steel slabs with widths between 1,000 and 2,150 millimeters and with thickness of up to 257 millimeters. The modernization work aims to improve slab quality and widen the product range.
