Lianxin Turns to KOCKS for Reducing and Sizing Block
08/06/2025 - Private steel producer Lianxin Iron & Steel has placed an order with KOCKS for a reducing and sizing block (RSB®) 370++/4 in the latest 5.0 design for its plant in Yancheng, China.
Lianxin operates three rolling mills at its plant. The RSB will be part of a new special bar quality (SBQ) line and is integrated as a finishing block after 24 H/V stands. This will allow the company to roll straight bars with maximum flexibility and precision in dimensions from 12 to 70 mm. The mill itself has an annual capacity of 600,000 metric tons while all three combined have an annual capacity of 4 million metric tons.
The scope of supply includes the remote control for automatic stand and guide adjustments. The BAMICON Octopus software and hardware supports all setup processes. KOCKS will perform the installation and commissioning as well as on-site training and advisory services for the technological equipment.
The company said commissioning is planned for the third quarter of 2026.
