Good wire rod coils at Elbe Stahlwerke Feralpi, Germany
New loop-laying head and cooling systems complete first-stage modernization
Danieli has completed the first stage of the modernization plan at the Elbe Stahlwerke Feralpi plant in Riesa, and the wire rod rolling mill is back to production.
This project involved replacing the old loop laying head and the part of the cooling line with a new, high-tech Oil Film Bearing unit (Danieli patent) and controlled cooling equipment.
The next stage of the modernization will be the installation of a three-stand Compact Sizing Block featuring multiple drive technology.
Once the entire modernization is complete, as expected by January 2018, the plant will roll 5.5 to 16 mm dia. plain and deformed wire rod with strict end-product size tolerances and ovality into 2,400 kg coils, at rolling speeds of up to 115 m/s.
The product mix includes Low and Medium Carbon steel for concrete reinforcing and cold drawing applications.
The original bar and wire rod mill operated by EFS was originally supplied by Danieli in 1993.
