CSP® - Compact strip production

The world’s most successful thin slab casting and rolling technology

Main data

Compact in design, CSP® produces high-quality hot strip in a single manufacturing line that combines casting, heating, and rolling. Our proven CSP® caster with its patented funnel-shaped mold casts thin slabs in thicknesses ranging from 50 to 90 mm. Next, the slabs go into the CSP® furnace for temperature equalization. Straight after that, the CSP® mill rolls them to final strip thickness. Starting with a single-strand CSP® plant, you can cost-effectively produce around 1.5 million tons hot strip per year. Later, add a second casting strand to double your annual capacity.
