Çelik Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. (Çemtaş), a Turkish steel producer, has awarded Siemens Metals Technologies an order to modernize its bar rolling mill in Bursa. The rolling mill will be equipped with a new reversing sliding roughing stand and a new intermediate train. The existing finishing mill will also be brought up to the state-of-the-art. The new equipment will enable Çemtaş to further improve its product quality, especially in respect of mechanical properties, metallurgical structure and the surface quality of the rolled bars. The plant will have a new automation system, including process models and mechatronic packages. This will give the bar rolling mill an end-to-end automation solution, which will increase productivity and reduce downtimes for maintenance. The modernized rolling mill is scheduled to come into operation at the beginning of 2015.
