New order Annual capacity of 450,000 t Daehan Steel, South Korea: Rebar mill with VCC® ordered The South Korean steel producer Daehan Steel has commissioned SMS Meer to supply a rebar mill with a VCC® installation (Vertical Compact Coiler) for compact coils. The mill with an annual capacity of 450,000 t will be the first rolling mill worldwide which concentrates exclusively on the production of compact coils. The plant is scheduled to go on stream in April 2011. SMS Meer supplies the key equipment for the rebar mill which includes six housingless mill stands each in H/V arrangement for the roughing and intermediate trains, a finishing block with eight rolling units in V arrangement, facilities for the heat treatment, the VCC® installation as well as the electrics and the automation. In addition to this, SMS Meer is responsible for the coordination of erection and commissioning. The production line processes square billets with an edge length of 130 mm. It is planned to expand the mill for the processing of billets 150 mm x 150 mm in size. The rebar dimensions comply with D10 to D16 (according to Korean standard) and the production of the corresponding round bars is also possible. For hot coiling, the VCC® installation is presently regarded as stateof-the-art procedure. The VCC® technology is also ideally suited for older mills with wire rod blocks and loop laying heads since it is possible to produce compact and stable coils. The Vertical Compact Coiler (VCC®) from SMS Meer is able to coil the bars directly in vertical position. Owing to this technology, the customers can do without turning manipulators in the future. The throughput time is considerably reduced by the VCC® system since the coils are already formed in their natural final position. 20 Newsletter 2/2010 Long-product Mills Commissioning 300,000 tpy of round bars ICSR in Hassia, Syria: Bar mill put into operation The International Company for Steel Rolling (ICSR) in Hassia, Syria, has successfully taken the bar mill supplied by SMS Meer into operation.
