CISDI’s groundbreaking skin pass mill to create energy savings at Jingye

Hebei Jingye Group has contracted its skin pass mill package supply project to CISDI.

Its 1,780mm hot strip mill will be upgraded within nine months.

Hebei Jingye Group is a conglomerate with steel as its core business. Its other interests include chemical production, hotels and real estate.

CISDI’s skin pass mill for hot strip mills is currently producing over 60 per cent of China’s market share.

The intelligent, ultra-high strength SPM, which has been awarded 10 patents, reduces roll wear and energy consumption. It features bending and shifting integration, a high-rigidity large-force leveller and high-tension coiler, high-strength strip pay-off and an innovative tension device and hydraulic shears.

Jingye was the third steel company to place an order during 2018.

The high-tech units are already operating successfully at Baowu Shanghai’s 1,880mm and 2,050mm hot strip mills, Shougang’s 2,250mm mill, Meishan Steel’s 1,780mm mill and also at Benxi Steel (2,300mm), Pangang Xichang (2,050mm), Baowu Zhanjiang (2,250mm) and Handan Steel (1,780mm).

CISDI has incorporated its expertise into a national code for skin pass mill specifications and strength serialisation, entitled the Design of Flat Products Finishing Technology.
