Located in Yantai, Shandong Province, China, the new mill project with Primetals will be completed in consortium with CERI Long Product Co. Ltd., including all electrics and automation to approach Industry 4.0. The combination mill will have a straight bar outlet, a bar-in-coil outlet, and a wire rod outlet. The mill train will feature new-generation Red Ring stands, feeding a cooling bed equipped with abrasive saws, slow bin cooling and bundle-forming stations. The bar-in-coil outlet will utilize the latest high-speed pouring reels with direct quenching. The rod outlet will include a Morgan No-Twist Mill, Morgan High Speed Shear, Morgan Rod Reducing/Sizing Mill and Morgan Stelmor Conveyor, as well as an in-line direct solution treatment line for lower production costs, with vertical pallet coil handling.
