Evraz Group has placed orders with Siemens VAI Metals Technologies to supply long product rolling mills for two of the company’s new production facilities.
Under the new contracts, Siemens will supply a greenfield plant with an annual capacity of 450,000 tonnes of bars, sections and spooled bars in Russia’s Rostov Region, as well as a second greenfield plant to roll rebars with annual capacity of 450,000 tonnes in Kazakhstan. The combined order value amounts to a mid-range double-digit million Euro figure. For both facilities, Siemens will supply the mechanical process equipment, a re-heating furnace, a water treatment plant, the fluids systems as well as the electric and automation systems.
The Evraz plant in Russia will have a design capacity of 315,000 tonnes of bars and 135,000 tonnes of angles and channels per year. The rolling line will comprise a walking hearth furnace, continuous rolling mill with 18 Red Ring stands and quick-change system in the finishing area, and cooling bed. The line will also include straightening and cutting machines and finishing equipment for bundling, tying and dispatching. Bars are in-line quenched for enhancing the mechanical properties.
The Russian plant will be capable of producing reinforced steel in bars of 10 to 40 mm diameter, spooled bars of 10 to 16 mm diameter, and sections. To maximize productivity, smaller diameters will be produced via a multi slitting process. Spooled bars will be produced on a spooling line operating at a maximum finishing speed of 23 meters/second, with a four-stand finishing monoblock, shears, in-line cooling, two spooling machines, and automatic tying and weighing machines.
The rolling line in Kazakhstan will comprise a walking hearth furnace, continuous rolling mill with 18 Red Ring stands and quick-change system in the finishing line, in-line quenching, cooling bed, cutting machines and finishing equipment for bundling, tying and dispatching. The mill, which features an in-line cooling system, will produce rebar with diameters of 10 to 40 mm in single, two-slit or three-slit rolling mode.
For both rolling mills, Siemens will also supply the complete electrical and automation equipment based on the Siroll concept for long rolling mills, including main transformers, main and auxiliary drives, and motors. An integrated automation system will control the rolling mill line and the water treatment system, and material flow will be managed by a level 2 control system.
Both new plants are scheduled to be in production in 2013.
