The furnaces will be supplied by Shandong Province Metallurgical Engineering Corporation on EPC basis.
At the beginning of the year 2020 TMT received the contract for supply of 2 x 4 nos. of full hydraulic taphole openers. The openers will be equipped with TMT´s latest state-of-the-art hammer technology – the full hydraulic drill hammer type TMT-BBG HS 600.

Laiwu Steel will be the 5th TMT customer worldwide using this most advanced hammer technology specially developed for blast furnace casthouse applications.
The first blast furnace will be blown in already in the first half of 2021 followed by the second furnace in 2022.
