Rebar mill upgrade

Pakistani rebar steel producer Kamran Steel Re-Rolling Mills (Pvt) Ltd has placed an order with Primetals Technologies to modernize the company’s existing rebar mill in Lahore. The project marks phase one of a three-phase expansion plan. The first phase will increase rebar production capacity to 150,000 metric tons per year, increase yield, reduce energy consumption and improve rolling efficiency. The equipment supplied is designed for future phase three requirements. Hot commissioning is expected for the third quarter of 2019. Primetals Technologies is responsible for engineering the plant and will supply the required process equipment as well as electrics and automation. The mechanical supply includes an upgrade of the reheating furnace run-out roller way, in order to allow direct billet transfer to the new continuous roughing train. The rolling line consists of a new eight-stand roughing mill with HVHVHVHV arrangement and a new six-stand intermediate mill in HVHVHV arrangement, both in-line with the existing finishing mill in order to eliminate cobbles. Both mills will be equipped with fifth- generation Red Ring stands. The finished rebar mill will be equipped with a total of 14 stands.
