Lianxin operates three rolling mills at its plant in Yancheng with a total annual capacity of 4 million tons and employs 4,200 people. The KOCKS RSB® 370++/4 will be part of a new SBQ line at Lianxin and is integrated as a finishing block after 24 H/V stands. This allows the Chinese steel producer to roll straight bars with maximum flexibility and highest precision, even with challenging production plans. Finished products include dimensions from Ø 12.00 to 70 mm.
With a total mill capacity of 600,000 t/a, Lianxin supplies its value-added products to demanding processing industries like automotive or machinery. The KOCKS block convinced Lianxin with its comprehensive production capabilities and its ease of operation. The proven 3-roll technology allows for tight dimensional tolerances and superior surface quality. With fast stand changes and the one-pass family rolling philosophy, the equipment will make a significant contribution to productivity and operational excellence.
The scope of supply includes the advanced remote control for automatic stand and guide adjustments. In the roll shop, the BAMICON Octopus software and hardware supports all setup processes. In addition to installation and commissioning, experts from KOCKS will provide on-site training and advisory services for the technological equipment. Commissioning is planned for the third quarter of 2026.
