The idea of such manufacturing devise, better known as ECCM (Electrotherm’s Continuous Casting Machine) was conceived a few years back and its launch was much awaited by the entire ingot manufacturing industry in India. The company plans to organize a series of seminars on the benefits of this machine in all the key steelmaking hubs in the country simultaneously with the launch and the first one was organized in the steel township of Mandi Gobindgarh and Ludhiana.
