Siemens to Supply Plate Mill, Upgrade Existing Line for Shougang Baoye
08/22/2008 - Siemens VAI Metals Technologies will supply a new 5-meter plate mill and modernize an existing rolling line for China's Shougang International Trade & Engineering Corp., Beijing.
Siemens VAI Metals Technologies has received orders from China's Shougang International Trade & Engineering Corp., Beijing, to supply a new 5-meter plate mill and modernize an existing rolling line. The rolling mill is to be built near Tangshan Shougang Baoye Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. (Shougang Baoye) in Tangshan City.
Siemens VAI will outfit the 3.5-meter plate mill with a Mulpic intensive cooling section and new drive systems. The installation work is scheduled for completion by the beginning of 2010. The total volume of the orders amounts to around 70 million euros.
Shougang is currently expanding its heavy-plate capacities at Tangshan Shougang Baoye Iron and Steel Co. Ltd. in Hebei province by installing equipment for the production of wide plate for ship-building and pipeline construction.
The new 5-meter plate mill will have two stands. Siemens VAI will engineer and supply the mechanical equipment for the roughing and finishing stands as well as the main drives for both stands. Their synchronous motors will be supplied with power via Sinamics SM150 DC link converters. Siemens VAI’s scope of supply also includes a Mulpic intensive cooling section, hot and cold levelers, and a shearing line with cropping shears, double-side trimming shears, dividing shears and cut-to-length shears. All the instrumentation and automation systems, including all the process models for the rolling mill, are also part of the order.
Siemens VAI will also supply Mulpic intensive cooling equipment and the main drive systems for a 3.5-meter plate mill that the customer is engineering with the help of local companies. The upgrade will allow the production facility to produce high-quality grades of steel as well.
