1 Metallurgical Plants and Rolling Mills Innovations for metal production

2 METALLURGICAL PLANTS AND ROLLING MILLS 02 More than melting, casting and rolling Rolling Casting Processes at modern metallurgy plants and rolling mills are characterised by a high degree of automation flexible process operation higher process speeds linked process stages optimised control energy efficiency, material savings and recovery improved dimensional tolerances environmental protection technologies such as emission reduction, filtration, regeneration and reprocessing Machinery and equipment for metallurgical plants and rolling mills include: Melting The production and processing of steel, alumi - nium and other non-ferrous metals is the basis for a wide variety of industrial and everyday activities. The continuous development of metallurgical and semi-finished goods production processes results in materials meeting the highest requirements. The benefits range from efficiency improvement in power generation through enhanced safety and comfort in modern vehicles to packaging that can be recycled for a virtually unlimited number of times. raw material processing equipment pig iron production and reduction equipment steel and non-ferrous metals production equipment steel and non-ferrous metals shaping equipment strip treatment plants finishing plants components and accessories energy and environmental protection systems

3 METALLURGICAL PLANTS AND ROLLING MILLS 03 Efficiency and sustainability Throughout the world, efforts are being stepped up to conserve resources and reduce pollutant emissions. Energy consumption is becoming a decisive factor in competition within manufacturing industry. Efficiency Sustainability In addition to continuously improved precision, speed and efficiency, environmental compatibility is one of the main features of innovations from the metallurgical plant and rolling mill suppliers within VDMA. They provide their customers with support for the optimisation of process stages as well as for life cycle management with a view to accessing unrealised potential. The metallurgical plant and rolling mill suppliers within VDMA offer know-how in the following fields for the modernisation of existing facilities and the construction of new plants: optimum automation and precise control of process stages conservation of resources and efficiency improvement across process boundaries process and logistics simulation energy and material recovery water treatment modern waste gas and spent air systems.

4 METALLURGICAL PLANTS AND ROLLING MILLS 04 Global competence for metallurgical innovations The companies which are members of VDMA s Metallurgical Plants and Rolling Mills specialist association stand for modern, high-efficiency, environmentally compatible solutions. They not only supply tailor-made machines and plants but are also competent advisors offering holistic solutions to their customers including system partnership and full service over the entire plant life cycle. Innovations produced through the continued development of metallurgical plant and rolling mill technology play a key role in many areas of life, from structural components for aircraft to wide-span bridges and sustainable buildings from lithography plates for newspaper printing to high-tech utensils for professional kitchens. Global competence The metallurgical plant and rolling mill equipment manufacturers among the VDMA members are highly respected partners of the steel and non-ferrous metal industries from raw material production through secondary metallurgy to shaping. In addition to their export activities, manufacturers of metallurgical plant and rolling mill equipment provide expertise locally through subsidiaries in many countries.

5 METALLURGICAL PLANTS AND ROLLING MILLS 05 Networks for metallurgical plants and rolling mills VDMA is the largest engineering industry association in Europe. The VDMA specialist Metallurgical Plant and Rolling Mill association includes among its members the leading plant and component manufacturers in the sector, employing more than 8,000 people in the German-speaking countries. Genuine machines represent quality, innovation, efficiency, experience and safety. VDMA s Pro Original campaign supports the use of genuine machinery and the organisational, technical and legal efforts of members to protect their intellectual property. Strong networks offer services to members as well as representing their interests. They also serve as an information and communication platform. This includes commitment to national and international standardisation work as well as support for technical working parties, the organisation of symposia and assistance for companies attending key industrial trade fairs. EUnited Metallurgy the European Metallurgical Equipment Association represents members interests throughout the world with the support of the specialist association. Networks
