Danieli has been awarded a contract to supply, install, and commission a state-of-the-art wire rod casting and rolling line at the Hydro Karmøy aluminum plant in Norway.
The project responds to the growing global demand for aluminum wire rod and involves the delivery of a brand-new cast house with a production capacity of 110,000 tons per year.
Integrated within the existing Karmøy facilities, the new installation will feature melting furnaces, a high-performance wire rod casting and rolling line, an automated handling and storage system, and a fully automated packing line.
Engineered with a strong focus on safety and future-ready production, the new plant sets a new benchmark for advanced aluminum processing.
The new plant will supply aluminum wire rod in compact coils from 2 to 3.6 tons, with diameters of 9.5, 12, 19, and 25 mm, at a nominal rate of 15 tons per hour.
Danieli’s scope of supply extends from the metal launders at the melting area exit to the buffer table for finished coils. It includes metal treatment systems (degasser and filters), a casting wheel with ingot transport, 13 two roll mill stands, a water-cooling line, and two coilers.
The plant is designed with a high level of automation, ensuring optimal efficiency and reliability.
Automation is integrated across all critical processes, from material handling to production and quality control.
The start-up of the new plant is scheduled for the beginning of 2028.
