Siemens Metals Technologies will supply mechanical equipment, electrical equipment, and automation systems for two bar mills in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and in Russia. The total order value of both projects is approximately 47 million euros.
In UAE, Siemens will install a new 300,000 tonne/year bar mill near Abu Dhabi for Abu Dhabi National Co. for Building Materials (BILDCO). Siemens’ scope of supply includes a billet reheating furnace, mill mechanical equipment (including cooling bed), electrics and automation.
The rolling mill will feature 16 of the latest-generation Red Ring stands arranged to enable no-twist rolling. Bars will be rolled at a maximum speed of 14.5 meters per second, and the line is equipped with magnetic braking. The cooling facility includes a 66-meter-long cooling bed with automated cutting, counting, and bundling systems. Siemens will also supply erection supervision and training services. Start-up is scheduled for the first quarter of 2009
