Coal and Flux Silos for Leading Steel Producer in India
At ESI and Aumund Engineering, we are pressing full speed ahead with the design and delivery of two Eurosilos at a steel plant belonging to one of India’s leading steel producers. This ground breaking project marks ESI’s first delivery within India. To successfully execute this project we have established a partnership with Aumund Engineering as our local partner. By doing so, we can provide a suitable supply chain for the local demand.
Expansion of Production Capacity
The delivery of an enclosed Eurosilo for coal and a second Eurosilo for storing flux is part of a major expansion programme at one of the production plants. This requires an upgrade of the internal logistics to ensure increased and continuous production at the steel mill. Flux is a vital additive for the melted steel to control the quality of the specific type of steel. Maintaining an uninterrupted production flow is also one of the design principles for the Eurosilos. Richard Spaargaren, Sales Director at ESI, explains: “To support the production process, we need to combine optimal storage capacity with high throughput. The new silos must fit within the limited space at the steel plant and another requirement is enclosed storage, due to the heavy rainfall during the wet monsoons.”
Boots on the Ground
Last month we had our internal kick-off with the team of Aumund Engineering. Building on their expertise, we have a solid partner who can handle all local operations. Aumund Engineering will oversee the local production of the mechanical parts necessary for the Eurosilo system. From the ESI side, a dedicated project manager will interface between the customer, Aumund, and ESI Eurosilo. By the end of 2026, both Eurosilos are scheduled to be up and running. By establishing local cooperation, we can offer an effective solution that matches the market requirements. Needless to say, we are excited and confident about embarking on this venture in India!
