JSPL is equipped with India's first 'one of a kind' state-of-the-art plate mill that produces plates and coils of 3.5 and 3 meters width, respectively, for the first time in the private sector.

JSPL epitomizes its performance-oriented service by producing plates ranging from 6-150mm in thickness & widths of 1500 -3500 mm and coils varying in thickness of 6 -22 mm and widths of 1500 - 3000 mm. The products are of premium quality, owing to its sound steel refining properties. The total production capacity of the plant is 1 MTPA. JSPL adheres to stringent international standards and the steel grades are manufactured under various specifications like EN, DIN, BS, ASTM, JIS and API.

Initiating production in Jan 2007, the plate mill acquired ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001:2004 certifications. It has been awarded CE, ADW-2000, LRS, ABS, & DNV certifications already. GL certification is also under process for servicing the requirements of the shipbuilding industry.

The hot rolled plates of the company are manufactured in the upgraded steckle mill that conforms to international quality standards and offers value added service to the customers. Steel refining and rolling processes adopted by the Company are considered exclusive.

Our plate mill is equipped with walking beam type of reheating furnace. The slabs are re- heated at a very high temperature of 1250 degrees Celsius and then rolled in a 2 Hi-Reversing Type roughing mill and a 4 Hi-Reversing Type finishing mill. To ensure excellent surface quality, high pressure de-scalers are provided at the entry and exit points.

An auto level 2 width and thickness controlling system coupled with heavy leveller assures close dimensional tolerances and an increased level of flatness control. Right from the slab charging, plate production to the conclusive stage fully equipped inspection facilities are in place.
