Danieli conticaster upgraded after 29-year operation at InfraBuild, Australia

InfraBuild relied on Danieli Service for the upgrade of its Danieli billet conticaster located at Rooty Hills, in Australia to a new 130x130-mm commercial section, to increase billet exports. After 29 years of successful casting with the 127x127-mm section, the customer has started casting using 130-mm square moulds.

The main goal of the above-mentioned upgrade was to enhance productivity by +5% by installing “plug & play” equipment, with minimal production shutdown time. The scope of supply included eight new complete130x130-mm moulds, secondary cooling cages, spare parts and the startup accessories like dummy bars heads and QSD® - Quick Sealing Devices.

The start-up was successful from the very first heat.
