The New Generation of Thin-Slab Casting and Rolling Plant for No Production and Market Limitations (Room 408)

Danieli Universal Endless (DUE®), the new flagship within the Quality Strip Production (QSP) family, combines the advantages and the abilities of “universal” rolling modes — endless and coil-to-coil within one single plant configuration — by making this plant a major technology innovation compared to the previous generation. This new approach can be seen as the natural evolution of Danieli’s thin-slab route, namely the application of the vertical curved-design, thin-slab caster and the separation of the rolling stands into high-reduction units and finishing units. Recently, the first plant of this kind was successfully put into operation at SGJT in China.
