Aarti’s new rolling line will produce 200,000 tonnes of alloy bar a year
—— CISDI’s successful export to India starts on schedule
A new alloy bar rolling line at India’s Aarti Steels has started up on
schedule.
CISDI package supplied the IPR-based walking-beam reheating furnace,
breakdown mill and short-stress path rolling mill train. It has also provided
technical assistance and project management services.
The rolling line will produce 200,000 tonnes a year and the reheating
furnace’s hourly capacity is 40 tonnes.
Most of the final products will be round bar, flat bar, square bar and
hexagonal bar. The breakdown mill will bloom eight cross-section dimensions and
its final products will be in as many as 120 specifications.
The reheating furnace, which went operational two and half months early,
is an outstanding showcase of CISDI’s engineering originality and adaptation
skills.
Key Features:
● A
tailor-made energy saver, the furnace has been developed with a dual-combustion
system which relies on diesel and heavy oil. The fuel oil main and
upstream-burner oil return branch have been combined to ensure oil pressure
stability at the inlet of the burner.
● The steam system with heat tracing and the
automatic water drainage system facilitate a certain viscosity in the flow of
oil, which ensures its combustion.
● Burner oil can be atomised, thus creating a
stable flame and achieving higher efficiency.
CISDI counteracted numerous challenges during construction by stationing
a project team and its engineers on-site to give guidance and supervision
throughout the project cycle.
