New continuous annealing line for Rasselstein

Abstract

In December 2003, Rasselstein GmbH Germany placed an orderwith the consortium VAI (Consortium leader) and Drever (Furnace)for the erection of the new continuous annealing line n° 5. The constructionof this annealing line takes place in a new building simultaneouslywith the construction of the tinning line n° 12. This modernline is unique in that for the first time it is planned to homogeneouslyanneal strips in widths from 800 to 1,400 mm. The future capacityamounts to 360,000 t. After annealing and finishing rolling thematerial is coated in a tinning line after which it finds use as an intermediateproduct for the beverage and packing industries.
