With a thriving steel market, electric steel plants have established themselves as the most effective alternative to converter steel plants. And the name “mini mill”, which originally denoted smaller, locally focused capacities, has now long been synonymous with high performance, economy and flexibility.
Two factors are always vital to the performance and productivity of your Mini Mill for long products: the quality and configuration of the individual equipment units and the overall plant performance. What’s needed is an overall layout that optimally accommodates all complex technical, metallurgical and logistical relationships, thereby generating time, cost, and productivity advantages that are difficult to achieve through partial solutions.
High availability calls for a well-designed service concept, up to and including around–the-clock monitoring of the plant at Siemens headquarters. Clearly defined processes, uniform manuals, assured parts availability and a globally available team of specialists ensure minimized shutdown times and high performance throughout the life-cycle of the plant.
Accurate planning that addresses everything from energy supply and raw material logistics to throughput targets is a prerequisition for a successful start of your plant. We provide all the up-front necessities to make sure your project gets off to a safe start, including technical consulting, financing, as well as simulation of all processes.
