Novolipetsk Metallurgical Plant has started a project for the reconstruction of a polymer coating unit (APP-1) with a capacity of 195 thousand tons of painted metal per year. The modernization will improve the surface quality of the strip, double the production of rolled products with premium polymer coatings and reduce the cost of production.

During the reconstruction, the unit will, in particular, be equipped with a more energy-efficient system for cooling the metal strip using water ... The APP will be equipped with thickness gauges that will allow you to control the thickness of the applied polymer coating. At present, the control of this indicator is possible only in laboratory conditions after the completion of the technological cycle.

The project is being implemented jointly with the Italian company DANIELI. The design documentation is currently being developed. In March 2021, construction and installation work will begin, which will last about two months. Investments in the project will amount to over RUB 500 million.
