Egypt: El Marakby Steel and Danieli Sign Agreement for High-Efficiency Reheating Furnace

El Marakby Steel (MKM) has commissioned Danieli Centro Combustion India to supply a new 60-ton-per-hour (tph) Pusher reheating furnace for its rolling mill in the 6th of October Industrial Zone in Egypt.

The new furnace aims to enhance thermal performance and improve billet temperature consistency, thereby enhancing the rolling mill’s performance.

It will incorporate patented Danieli burners engineered to reduce fuel consumption, minimize scale formation, and decrease pollutant emissions.

This investment is in line with MKM’s strategy for decarbonization and its commitment to reducing environmental impact.

The new reheating furnace is scheduled to begin operation in mid-2027.
