ANDRITZ to Supply Annealing Furnace for CERI‑Led 400,000 t/y Galvanizing Line in Changzhou

(IN BRIEF) CERI Technology has awarded ANDRITZ a contract to supply an annealing furnace for Hebei MFG’s 400,000 tonne‑per‑year continuous galvanizing line at its Changzhou coating park. While CERI handles the mechanical terminal and post‑treatment, ANDRITZ will install its globally proven furnace system, noted for long‑life radiant tubes, precise temperature control, and airtight construction. The line will produce aluminum‑silicon coated steel sheets—ideal for appliance exteriors and automotive components—enhancing corrosion resistance and finish quality. This order, undisclosed in value, will appear in ANDRITZ’s Q3 2025 figures and cements a new collaboration with Hebei MFG.

(PRESS RELEASE) GRAZ, 17-Jul-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — CERI Technology Company Limited has selected global technology provider ANDRITZ to furnish the annealing furnace for a new continuous galvanizing line at Hebei MFG Metallurgical Materials Technology Co., Ltd.’s precision alloy color coating industrial park in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province. Under this agreement, CERI Technology will oversee the line’s mechanical finishing and post‑treatment sections, while ANDRITZ delivers its proven furnace technology.

Engineered for an annual throughput of 400,000 tonnes, the facility will specialize in producing aluminum‑silicon galvanized steel sheets. These coated products offer superior corrosion protection and a premium surface appearance—qualities essential for exterior panels on household appliances and vehicle parts.

ANDRITZ’s annealing furnaces—renowned across continuous annealing and galvanizing installations worldwide—feature durable radiant tubes, exceptional thermal regulation, tight process control, and robust airtight design that ensures consistent coating quality and operational adaptability.

This contract not only reinforces ANDRITZ’s leadership in supplying advanced metals‑processing solutions but also inaugurates its partnership with Hebei MFG. The project’s financial details remain confidential and will be recorded in ANDRITZ’s third‑quarter 2025 order intake.
