New reheating furnaces which will boost production at Hebei’s Zongheng Steel have moved on a pace.

Furnace 1 for one of Zongheng’s two new 1,450mm hot strip mills and furnace 1 for its new 1,780mm hot strip mill have been dried off under CISDI’s EPC-based services.

Zongheng Steel is building three hot strip mills in total. Each will have three reheating furnaces and all are being supplied by CISDI.

Six furnaces - two for each strip mill - have now been fired up. The remaining three are currently under construction.

Every construction milestone has been met and the project is moving forward.

The RHF project is seen as a benchmark for China.

CISDI’s dedicated team are keeping the construction process on track with 24 hours a day monitoring.

Around the clock, dedicated supervisors oversee the critical links and quality controls for equipment manufacture and installation.
