Asil Çelik orders first 3-roll
reducing and sizing block in Turkey
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
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.
