Reheating furnaces at Çolakoğlu to meet steel market demand

Çolakoğlu Metalurji and Fives, a global engineering group, have commissioned the second reheating furnace to increase production capacity and meet the growing steel market demand.

Çolakoğlu Metalurji is a leading steelmaker in Turkey producing slabs, bars, hot rolled coils, blooms, and billets for the European and Asian markets. The company was looking for a new technology capable of reheating high-quality steel to meet the increasing demands of the automotive industry. 

They entrusted Fives with supplying a second Stein Digit@l Furnace®, following the successful installation of the first one. 

“The Çolakoğlu Metalurji’s decision to invest in the second furnace was driven by market growth. We also had limitations on the existing furnace, creating a bottleneck for the existing hot strip mill. When looking for new reheating technology, we targeted capacity, efficiency, and decarbonization features in line with our commitment to meet market demands while prioritizing environmental sustainability,” says Sercan Bahadir, Production Engineer - Hot Strip Mill at Çolakoğlu Metalurji.
