Good efficiency and good quality in rebar production have been achieved at the new, Steel Asia high-speed bar mill in operation in Compostela, Cebu, Philippines, where low- and medium-carbon deformed bars ranging from 10 to 50 mm are produced at a capacity of 800,000 tpy.
The rolling mill features 16 housing-less stands, including two convertible stands for larger diameters, plus two, four-pass finishing blocks (designed for future installation of two additional passes for 8-mm products). This allows two-strand rolling of 10-, 12- and 16-mm deformed bars.
A Danieli QTB-Quench Tempering Bar system for the quenching and tempering of deformed bars, a double high-speed twin channel, and a 90-m cooling bed follow the rolling stands.
Cold cutting-to-length, automatic bar counting, and bundle forming, tying, and collecting services were designed to meet the specific needs of the Philippine market, accommodating light sub-bundles weighing less than 50 Kg.
The mill is run by a Danieli Automation L1+L2 equipment automation and process control system.
