Initial use of CISDI’s stationary work roll bend-shift expertise

─── Changing movable work-roll bending and shifting mechanism to a stationary one trending toward hot mill upgrades

Tangshan Steel’s Ganglu finishing mill has started up its work roll bending and shifting mechanism.

Built by CISDI to an EPC mode, the mill has been switched from a movable bend-shift mechanism to a stationary by integrating mechanical, hydraulic, electric and automation control systems.

The bend-shift mechanism is critical to good rolling stability and product quality at a hot rolling finishing mill, but Ganglu’s moveable mechanism was causing operational problems.

The first application at Ganglu has been on schedule and product quality standards have been achieved. This lays a solid foundation for CISDI to commercialise the expertise it has developed.
