3-roll reducing and sizing block for India

DIARY OF TUBE EVENTS

Bhushan Power & Steel Ltd, India, is a steel producer with seven manufacturing facilities at four different locations in India and an annual turnover of more than US$750 million. A modern combined wire rod and bar mill will be installed adjacent to the company’s new integrated steel plant in Jharsuguda in the state of Orissa. The core technology of the new 500,000 tpy rolling mill is a 3-roll reducing and sizing block (RSB) from Friedrich Kocks GmbH & Co KG, Germany. The order includes the design, supply, erection and commissioning of a 4-stand 3-roll RSB with a nominal roll diameter of 370mm. The reducing and sizing block is prepared for a possible future extension to five stand positions and will be implemented after stand No 18 of the 2-high roughing and intermediate mill. As a finishing block, the RSB rolls finish straight bar lengths within the range of 16 to 80mm Ø and hexagons within the range of 18.25 to 50mm onto the cooling bed, as well as bar in coils of 16 to 60mm Ø. As a pre-finishing block, the RSB produces all necessary pre-sections for the downstream wire rod finishing block. An extended ‘free-size’ range of up to ±1.5mm from the nominal size allows rolling of a variety of sizes with tightest tolerances only by adjusting stands and guides via remote control. The optimum adjusting values for motor speed, rolls and guides as well as gear steps depending on the final product are calculated by the Bar Mill Configuration System (BAMICON). The adjustment is done automatically within a maximum of one minute. This allows for a trouble-free, economic production of high quality bar. When the finished dimensions exceed the ‘free-size’ range, the quick stand changing system allows stands to be changed in less than five minutes. Any size can be rolled without restrictions with regard to availability of the complete mill, by using a minimum number of roll sets and stand changes.
