California Steel awards two upgrade projects to Primetals Technologies
Fontana, Calif.-based flat-rolled steel producer California Steel Industries (CSI) has contracted with Primetals Technologies, London, for two electrical and automation projects for its 86-in. hot strip mill, to be completed by mid-2022, and #2 continuous galvanizing line, scheduled for a mid-2020 completion.
The hot strip mill project includes a detailed migration plan for new motors, drives, and power distribution for six finishing mill stands. Primetals is supplying medium-voltage motors and drives, transformers, and switchgear, as well as engineering and commissioning.
The galvanizing line will be upgraded in multiple phases. AC and DC drives, Level 1 automation, Level 2 automation, and HMI nearing obsolescence will be replaced.
