SBQ-bar. Implementing the first 3-roll reducing and sizing block in Turkey into its medium section mill will enable Asil Çelik to strengthen and expand its position as one of the largest domestic producers of quality steels. The delivery time of the 3-roll heavy-duty RSB is 12 months FOB.

ASILÇelik, headquartered in the Turkish province of Bursa, has modernised its medium section mill with a major revamp. The order was placed with an international consortium made up by Danieli, Italy, Fematek, Turkey and Friedrich Kocks, Germany. Kocks is responsible for the supply of a heavy-duty reducing and sizing block (RSB). The RSB is equipped with four stand positions and is designed for operation of 3-roll stands with a nominal roll diameter of 370mm. The 3-roll block will be implemented in the 400,000t/a medium section mill behind the roughing and intermediate mill consisting of 18 HV 2-high stands. After re-commissioning of the mill the RSB will finish roll the total straight bar production in the range from 19 to 100mm diameter round and from 18 to 80mm hexagon onto the cooling bed in top SBQ-quality with excellent tolerance and ovality as well as perfect surface finish. The RSB allows rolling to be performed out of only one pass series in the roughing and intermediate mill and thus reduces the number of required feeders significantly. Any finished dimension of the whole dimensional range can be produced in any desired sequence with a small number of roll sets and just a few stand changes in the RSB. The rolling configuration program BAMICON calculates optimum adjusting values for rolls and guides, as well as the driving motors speeds and gear stages depending on the requested finished product. The scope of the Kocks supply comprises the 3-roll reducing and sizing block with automatic quick stand changing system, the roll shop with quick roll change, the mill configuration program BAMICON, and CAPAS, the computer-aided system for accurate adjustment of rolls and guides of the 3-roll stands in the roll shop. The supply package is completed by the training of customer personnel and the supervision of erection and commissioning. This is the basis for a trouble-free, economic production of top quality
