03/03/2011 - İzmir Demir Çelik Sanayi A.Ş. has placed an order with Siemens for a new 400,000 tonnes/year medium-section mill.

The Turkish steelmaker İzmir Demir Çelik Sanayi A.Ş. (IDÇ) has placed an order with Siemens for a new medium-section mill.
 
The mill, which is to be erected in IDÇ’s Foça works, is designed for an annual production of 400,000 tonnes of section steel. IDÇ intends to expand its rolling capacity and to add to its product range sections with cross-sections of up to 300 millimeters.
 
For the medium-section mill, Siemens will supply a reversing roughing stand, four-stand intermediate mill and a six-stand finishing line. The intermediate and finishing lines will be equipped with RedRing stands in horizontal-universal arrangement. The scope of supply also comprises all shear and sawing systems, a straightener and two strapping machines. The project also includes variable-speed main and auxiliary drives and motors as well as the entire basic automation system.
 
Siemens is also assuming the engineering responsibilities for plant components to be supplied by IDÇ, including stand quick change devices, pinch rolls, dust and scale collection systems, a rapid-roll-exchange system, a magnetic stacker and the accompanying devices for stack unloading and weighing. Siemens will also supply consultation services for the erection and commissioning phases.
 
The new rolling mill will be commissioned at the end of 2012.
