Henan Jiyuan Orders Wire Rod Outlet from Siemens VAI
May 25, 2010 The Henan Jiyuan Iron & Steel (Group) Co., Ltd. has ordered a wire rod outlet from Siemens VAI Metals Technologies for its first imported rod mill that will produce higher-quality steel grade products for the company.
The rod outlet is to be installed on a Chinese-made roughing intermediate mill. Siemens will supply all high-speed equipment from the pre-finishing mill to the coil transfer system to the power and free coil handling system.
The project is scheduled to be completed by late 2011.
The scope of supply includes a two-stand Vee pre-finishing mill, an eight-stand Vee No-Twist® finishing mill, and a four-stand reducing/sizing mill. Supply will also include an intelligent pinch roll and laying head arrangement, a high-speed shear arrangement before the No-Twist Mill, guides for all three mills, intermediate intelligent pinch roll, water boxes, Stelmor® conveyor and reform station. Several Morgan proprietary control systems will be included.
Designed to produce up to 150 tonnes of wire rod per hour, the new rod outlet will provide the tolerances and quality required to produce alloy steels, spring steel, and bearing steels. Annual production is expected to be 600,000 tonnes of 5- to 25-mm rods and 6- to 16-mm HRBF rebar.
Siemens VAI will supervise the installation and commissioning of the rod outlet.
Henan Jiyuan Iron & Steel produces 600,000 tonnes of iron and steel each year; the main products include steel billets, pig iron, ferroalloy, and steel tube.
