MI.DA® micromill
MI.DA®, the new generation of Continuous/Casting/Rolling compact micromills, completes the range of Danieli minimills and is designed to be competitive in transformation costs (cash + depreciation) even for productions below 500,000 t/y. The Micromill Danieli is based on the “regional/product-oriented” mill concept, and with its relatively low production capacity, is designed to serve regional markets, focusing on a specific product and making extensive use of local scrap supplies.

MI.DA. is characterized by single strand Continuous Casting-Rolling process featuring ultra-high speed FCC® “PowerMold” caster, in-line billet inductive heating as well as bar quenching and tempering (QTB) system, and a Direct Rolling Bundling system (DRB®) all arranged in an extremely compact layout.

With this contract, Danieli confirms its leadership in complete minimill projects, now totalling more than 100 complete installations worldwide, since 1964.
