High-speed bar mill upgrading at JSW

JSW Steel contracted Danieli Service to improve the performance of its bar mill at Vijayanagar Works, in India.

Two rolling modules have been added to an existing fast-finishing block, which was previously supplied by Danieli and designed for future expansion from 6 to 8 passes.

The great teamwork between JSW and Danieli Service made possible the installation of the additional passes along with an automation upgrade, and the achievement of 40 m/sec finishing speed for 10-mm-dia bars, in just one week from production stop.

JSW is now able to produce small rebars, increasing production flexibility.

Fast-finishing rolling modules are part of the Danieli portfolio available through an easy-to order, quick-delivery, cost-effective spare-parts on-demand system, conceived to continuously support steel producers.
