The Chinese company Jiangsu Shenyuan Special Steel from Shenyuan, Jiangsu Province, has awarded an order to SMS Meer, Germany, for the supply of the wire rod outlet of a special steel rolling mill. The mill has an annual production capacity of more than 180,000 t and rolls top-quality stainless steels and high-grade valve steels.
Loop laying head
Diameters from 5.5 to 20 mm are produced with a maximum capacity
of 60 t/h and max. 70 m/s. The envisaged expansion of the mill to
include bar steel in coils will cover a size range from 21 to 40 mm in
diameter.
The wire rod section consists of compact CL stands in
H/V arrangement renowned for their especially high load-bearing
capacity. Installed downstream are an eight-stand wire-rod finishing
block, a pinch-roll unit and a loop laying head as well as the LCC? (Loop Cooling Conveyor). The LCC?
is designed in such a way that the heated wire rod coils can be
collected directly downstream of the laying head in order to
subsequently feed them to an inline heat treatment system.
Commissioning is scheduled for the 4th quarter of 2013.
