The caster at JSW is part of the company’s expan-sion program “Cheetah”. The aim: a production capa-city of 7.5 million t per year – which makes JSW the privately-owned steelmaker with the highest output in India.
EXCELLENT COOPERATION WITHIN

The project management and procurement was jointly made between two SMS offices, the head-quarters in Zurich and India Office in Pune. The majority of the engineering was also executed in the Pune office in coordination with SMS Concast Technologies in Udine. In addition to this vast colla-boration network, the ladle turret was engineered by SMS Siemag Hilchenbach with joint procurement with SMS Concast Zurich. Due to the close and result-oriented cooperation between all involved companies the project was carried out successfully and accurately timed.
