Henan Jiyuan I&S remains committed to the KOCKS 3-roll technology

The Chinese special steel producer Henan Jiyuan Iron & Steel Co.,Ltd. (I&S) has placed an order with Friedrich KOCKS GmbH & Co KG, Hilden, Germany, for a Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB®) 500++/4 for its Big Bar mill.

After the successful installation and operation of two KOCKS RSB® in 2008 and 2020, Jiyuan I&S decided to order the third 3-roll Block from KOCKS which is a RSB® 500++/4 for the production of medium and large size SBQ products.

The biggest KOCKS RSB® is part of the new Big Bar revamping project of Jiyuan I&S in the Province Henan and will finish most flexible all straight bar sizes of Ø 50.0 to 160.0 mm onto the cooling bed. The new RSB® is also suitable for the thermomechanical rolling process.

Beside the RSB®, also the roll shop for preparation of the 3-roll stands and 3-roller guides, the advanced bar mill configurator BAMICON Octopus, as well as supervision services are included in the scope of supply.

The commissioning of the RSB® is scheduled for the second quarter of 2022.

KOCKS rolled® products stand for an extraordinary quality – made to consistently high standards by commissioning.
