Rebar Mill for Gulf Steel Industries in United Arab Emirates
Jul 17, 2007
Gulf Steel Industries Co. Ltd placed an order with Siemens Metals Technologies for the supply of new rebar mill which will be built in Mussaffah Industrial Area of Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. The line will produce approximately 400,000 tons of rebars and plain rounds per year for the booming Middle Eastern steel market. The project is scheduled to be completed by early 2009. The contract value for Siemens is a several million euro figure.
Gulf Steel Construction Industries Co. Ltd (GSIC), a subsidiary company of Al-Nasser Industrial Enterprises, currently produces reinforcing bars (120,000 t/a), cold-ribbed bars (36,000 t/a) and welded mesh (30,000 t/a) which are used in the construction industry throughout the Middle East. In order to supply the booming and growing market demand for rebars, GSIC decided to expand their production output and placed an order with Siemens Metals Technologies for a rolling mill designed to produce 400,000 t/a of carbon steel bars.
Siemens will engineer and supply the mechanical equipment for rolling and handling. The rolling train will be equipped with 18 RedRing rolling stands - six each in the roughing, intermediate and finishing sections of the line. These mill stands are characterized by their highly rigid and sturdy design, reliable operation, quick-roll-change capability and easy maintenance requirements. Over 4,000 such units have been supplied to date. A quick-stand-change device will be installed in the finishing section to minimize mill downtime. The handling area of the mill will include a 66-m-long cooling bed, a cold-flying shear with a 190-t cutting capacity, a bar-counting device and an automatic bar-bundling system.
