A new long rolling mill from Siemens Metals
Technologies has been brought into
operation for Evraz Caspian Steel LLC, a
Kazakh steel producer. The rolling mill is
part of a new facility designed to produce
450,000 tonnes of rebar per year to supply
the construction industry in Kazakhstan and
adjoining central Asian countries. The end
products can be rolled in single, two-slit or
three-slit mode.
Evraz Caspian Steel belongs to the Russian
Evraz Group. The new mill comprises an
eight-stand roughing mill, a six-stand
intermediate mill with Red Ring stands in an
HV arrangement, and a finishing mill with
four horizontal Red Ring stands. All the rolling
stands are equipped with a quick-change
device. The diameters of the end products
can range from 10mm to 40mm, with the
smaller diameters produced in two-slit or
three-slit mode.
The contract with Siemens also comprised
a billet reheating furnace, including a
feeder and descaling station, a quenching
line, shearing systems, a 78m cooling bed,
and machines for counting, bundling,
tying, weighing and label printing.
Siemens also supplied the fluid systems
and a water treatment plant. The scope
of supply also included the low voltage
power distribution system, the main and
auxiliary drives, motors, and the basic and
process automation. Siemens was also
responsible for supervising the installation
and commissioning.
