Israel’s Yehuda Steel has awarded Danieli the contract to supply a new 5 tonne spooler line at its existing rolling facility commissioned in 2017 as it continues to strengthen positions in the long steel segment through investments in new equipment. The new equipment will be installed completely off-line with minimal influence on production and is expected to come on stream during August 2022.
The new line will allow Yehuda Steel to produce extremely compact and twist-free rebar coils (8-25-mm) weighing up to 5 tonne as well as give the possibility to manufacture bars in coils from 7.5 to 16 mm diameter. Currently, the nominal productivity is 38 tonnes per hour, but the equipment is able to make 63 tonnes per hour if the continuous casting machine and roiling mill are upgraded.
