Tenova was awarded a new order for a tinplate coating line and tinplate double reduction mill by the Tinplate Company of India Ltd. for its new tinplate complex at the Jamshedpur plant in Jharkhand, India.
Tenova is a leading company specialized in sustainable solutions for the metals and mining industries. The Tinplate Company of India Ltd. is a subsidiary of Tata Steel.
The tinplate coating line (TCL) includes an independent pre-tinning section with sulfuric acid for iron control in the electrolyte solution and an advance tinplate coating control close loop to achieve the best strip coating quality and stability. Superior efficiency in tinplate coating is guaranteed by the IGBT AFE rectifier technology that, moreover, allows the lowest electrical consumption of the line. The line also has the fastest tinplate coating process speed thanks to the cut-to-edge tinplate coating design, which allows to achieve the largest production capability.
The tinplate double reduction mill (TDRM) plays a key role in obtaining a combination of ultra-light strip gauge and required hardness. This mill is equipped with advanced technology, including high-performance automatic gauge control (AGC) cylinders, automatic flatness control (AFC) system, a roughness control system, and a dedicated reduction control for double reduced (DR) tin plate.
“We are very proud to have been selected as the main technological partner for Tata Group tinplate expansion,” said Giuseppe Zanzi, chief representative officer, South East Asia and Oceania at Tenova. “Thanks to our solutions, Tata will be able to achieve a sustainable production based on low electrical consumption and very large production capacity. In a short time-span, this is already the third tinplate coating line and tinplate double reduction mill project awarded to Tenova, following contracts with JSW Steel, India, and Tosyali Toyo, Turkey. The successful combination of these two Tenova technologies underline s our notable experience, with more than 30 installations worldwide , as well as our re liability in the field of the tinplate coating process.”
“This order testifies the trust Tata Steel has placed in us,” said Amitabh Nandi, Tenova Technologies Pvt. Ltd. managing director. “As the managing director of Tenova India, it’s truly satisfying to witness our achievement align with our vision of forging a more sustainable future for the steel industry.”
