Acciaierie Venete has chosen Danieli technology again for its new mill located in Padua, Italy to produce SBQ round bars from 18 to 82.5 mm, and in the future flats and hexagons from 30 to 60 mm.

The rolling mill, made of heavy-duty horizontal/vertical stands, is characterized by a drawing/rolling block to produce bars with high dimensional tolerances of 1/8 EN 10060:2003. Featuring four-roll technology, The Drawer allows great production flexibility thanks to free-size rolling up to 4 mm and quick production changeover in less than 4 min.

Danieli Automation 4.0 system will provide Acciaierie Venete the total production control from liquid steel up to the finished product, facilitating the production of small steel lots and frequent size changes to quickly satisfy the requests of the customers.

Automatic process repeatability, LTR-thermomechanical processing of bars, and the preparation of the rolling mill in the workshop, together with the rolling guides under the "ready-to-roll" concept will be performed.

The plant features an in-line control of the process, as well as of surface and dimensional defects.

A new 80 t/h reheating furnace will bring to rolling temperature round blooms from 200, 220 and 240 mm.

Thanks to its rolling-drawing capability, The Drawer will lead to ready-to-use hot rolled bars without downstream peeling operations.
