NLMK Metiz of Russia has selected Danieli Centro Combustion (DCC) to supply a new bell annealing furnace installation for its Berezovki facility. The new system will recrystallize (heat treat) steel wire coils in a 100 percent nitrogen atmosphere. The charges will be 21-ton coils in seven stacks of three coils each. The installation will be a two-phase project: both phases 1 and 2 will see DCC supply two bases, one heating hood, two inner covers and one cooling hood. The furnaces will have a direct coupled base fan; special design diffuser and plenum; a hydraulic locking system; and silicon-carbide head burners, each with its own recuperator. DCC will supply all mechanical, electrical and automation equipment, and provide technical assistance during installation and commissioning.
