Three top-blown LD converters, each of 133 m³ volume, produce a total of 3.6 million tonnes of liquid steel per annum. This liquid steel thus produced is cast in six, 4 strand bloom casters. A special feature in energy conservation is the collection of converter gas to be used as a fuel in the plant. The entire molten steel at VSP is continuously cast at the radial type continuous casting machines resulting in significant energy conservation and better quality steel. 100% continuous casting on such a large scale has been conceived for the first time in India.
Technology for Caster has been obtained from erstwhile USSR while Technologuy in LD shop is a mix of USSR for mechanical equipment, Ansaldo Italy for Electric DC drives, Brown Boveri Kent -UK, for Distributed control systems and Clecim - France for Gas cleani
Secondary facilities like Injection Refining - UP Temperature (IRUT)and Ladle furnace have been added subsequently
SMS is presently headed by DGM(Steel) Mr. AK Burnwal and HOD(SMS) Mr. P.N Rao.
