Beeckerwerth plant – Hot Strip Mill 2.
Location
The plant is located in Dusiberg, Germany.

Project Description
The project forms part of thyssenkrupp’s Steel Strategy 20-30 and will involve the construction of a new walking beam furnace in Beeckerwerth plant’s Hot Strip Mill 2.
The new unit will be more than 50 m long and will add flexibility to the operation of the plant.
The walking beam furnace ensures that surface defects are prevented during the reheating and rolling of slabs. This is achieved by special lifting and lowering devices, which prevent damage to the surfaces of the slabs weighing up to 30 t.
Before the new furnace is built, the old unit will first be dismantled.
