Full performance right from the first strip

This basic requirement expressed before building new hot rolling mills or modernizing existing facilities places exacting demands on equipment suppliers. Full performance means, in detail:

 

  • short delivery times
  • faster production ramp up
  • first class product quality
  • future-proof investment

 

Against a background of over 100 years experience as well as proven and innovative equipment and tools, Siemens VAI is in a position to master all complex technological requirements asked of a hot rolling mill in the production of strips and heavy plates. This includes reliable production of the demanded width, gauge, flatness and profile with the aid of a wide spectrum of our latest plant technology plus the analytical process models and technological control systems to match.

 

A few highlights

 

  • Siemens VAI's cooling line automation enables a quantum leap in terms of precision in strip temperature patterns.
  • With the introduction of the microstructure monitor, expensive laboratory measurements are reduced to a minimum and flexible control of strip qualities is made possible.
  • The powercoiler was specially developed to meet the particular requirements of modern steel grades.
  • And finally, Siemens VAI has supplied more hot strip mills with electrical systems and automation than any other company.
