New order Southwest Siberian Metallurgical Plant Novokuznetsk, a company of the EVRAZ Group, modernizes its production facilities for heavy sections in the city of the same name. To achieve this, the plant operator has placed an order with SMS Meer, Germany, for the supply of a new universal mill for rails and other sections. To set up Russia’s most advanced rail and section mill, the production with the old equipment will only be stopped for four months. Thereafter, the steel company will be able to produce 100-m-long rails. As the largest rail producer in Russia, the customer intends to manufacture the rails with state-of-the-art processes which meet all current needs. Therefore, rail rolling operation will be modernized with a comprehensive program. By using our new rolling methods and advanced mill stand concepts, the productivity, flexibility and availability of the plant will be increased. In addition to that, topquality finished products can be produced. 6 Newsletter 1/2011 Long-product Mills Universal mill for Novokuznetsk Russia’s most modern rail mill Two-high reversing roughing stand in CCS® design. Use of a laser profile gage. Altogether, 1.3 million t of sections per year. The new mill with a total capacity of then 1.3 million t of sections per year is scheduled to go into production in October 2012. 950,000 t of the annual production are rails, including 400,000 t with a maximum length of 100 m. Such long rails can be used for high-speed rail tracks or, with hardened rail heads, also for high axle loads on heavy goods trains. In addition, the new mill produces beams, channels, rounds and sections. Latest CCS® technology in the rolling mill Upgrading is realized in several sub-projects. For the rolling area of the section mill, SMS Meer supplies the rolling technology, the complete mechanical and electrical equipment and the automation system. The latest CCS® stands will be used in the universal mill. This stand type is characterized by high rigidity, hydraulic roll gap adjustment and fully automated stand changing devices. With the tandem reversing rolling group, it is possible to produce not only rails but also beams and channels in the universal rolling process. This cost-efficient beam production is performed by means of our proven XH® reversing rolling method.
The core element of a modern heavy-section mill: Tandem reversing rolling group in CCS® design. With inline measurement, the quality of rolled rails can be checked. The new universal mill produces rails for highly demanding applications. Extensive additional supplies. The key components of the mill also include manipulators, grip-type tilters upline and downline the tandem stand group, transport facilities and a hot saw. For the quality check, a laser profile gage (Propgauge) is employed for inline measurement of the finished profiles. The supply package from SMS Meer also includes the supervision of erection and commissioning, the training of customer’s personnel, and spare parts. Novokuznetsk on the Tom River is a large Russian city in the Coal Basin of Kusbass in the Kemerowo Oblast in Southwest Siberia. The city has a population of about 560,000 (as of 2009) and is situated approx. 300 km south of the regional capital Kemerowo. Newsletter 1/2011 7
