The caster can produce slabs 2.36 or 2.56 inches (60 or 65 mm) thick, 36 to 74 inches wide, 50 to 180 feet long. Based on a 165-ton heat size, it has an annual rated capacity of 1.7 million tons with a production rate of 200 to 300 tons/hr.

The in-line tunnel reheat/equalizing furnace located between the thin-slab caster and 6-strand hot strip mill has a heating capacity of 338 tons/hour. With an overall length of 855 feet, it consists of a 670-foot stationary furnace and a 185-foot shifter car unit. The latter unit will be used when the second caster is placed in operation in the Phase 2 expansion. With a total heating capacity of approximately 160 million BTU/hour, the furnace consists of five heating zones and two holding zones. Fired by natural gas, the furnace is designed to heat slabs from approximately 1,000 to 2,000°F for rolling on the direct coupled hot strip mill.

The mill is designed to roll product 36 to 74 inches wide, 0.065 to 0.500 inch thick, with a maximum coil weight of 44 tons. With a coil ID of 30 inches, coil OD can vary between 45.7 and 82.7 inches. The principal components of the hot mill include a pendulum shear; a de-scaler; a six-stand (4-high) rolling mill; laminar flow cooling runout table with edge masking; and coil handling units.
