The converters will be suspended by the maintenance-free Vaicon Link 2.0. This suspension system not only minimizes the stresses caused by thermal deformations, but also has a long service life. Converter #1 is scheduled to be brought into operation at the end of 2016, and converter #3 six months later, depending on when the option is exercised.
The converters used until now in the Dąbrowa Górnicza steel works have reached the end of their service lives. Primetals will supply the new vessels and trunnion rings, including the maintenance-free Vaicon Link 2.0 suspension. The converter bearings and housings will also be replaced. The order also includes dismantling of the existing vessels, and pre-assembly and erection of the new equipment. This will be handled by ZKS Ferrum S.A., the Polish partner in the consortium.
ArcelorMittal Poland is the leading steel producer in Poland. The company runs six production plants in the Silesia region and in Małopolska. The range of products covers profiles, rails, fittings for the construction, transport and mining industries, as well as flat products for the automotive industry and domestic appliances. The Dąbrowa Górnicza plant specializes in producing heavy profiles.
