The electric <strong>steel</strong> works<br />
STAHLWERK THÜRINGEN at a glance<br />
A consortium consisting of VOEST-ALPINE Industrieanlagenbau <strong>GmbH</strong> Linz, Austria, and<br />
DEUTSCHE VOEST-ALPINE Industrieanlagenbau Düsseldorf, Germany, was awarded the<br />
contract to build the electric <strong>steel</strong> works from 1993 to 1995.<br />
The electric <strong>steel</strong> plant consists of a scrap yard, the smelting shop <strong>with</strong> smelting furnace<br />
and ladle furnace, the continuous casting machine and all necessary peripheral facilities.<br />
The entire <strong>production</strong> complex of the new electric <strong>steel</strong> making plant has been constructed<br />
in strict compliance <strong>with</strong> the requirements for the protection of the environment<br />
against noise and dust pollution.<br />
Scrap <strong>steel</strong> yard<br />
The recyclable <strong>steel</strong> required for the mill comes by rail or road. All incoming scrap is<br />
checked for radioactive substances prior to unloading.<br />
The two gantry cranes are used to transfer the scrap to the stockyard. The stockyard has<br />
a capacity of 45,000 tons. All appropriate environmental precautions have been taken<br />
and a protective layer was installed in order to prevent harmful substances from contaminating<br />
the ground water.<br />
Two remote controlled diesel-hydraulically driven transfer wagons carry the recycled<br />
<strong>steel</strong> in containers that also function as charging vessels to the melting shop.<br />
charging the scrap basket<br />
