A steel producer based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, recently announced the expansion of their rolling mill, which will include a 3-MW induction furnace to heat the stock coming from the existing mill.
Steel Dynamics USA announced the expansion at their Columbia City, Indiana, location. Among other equipment being added are a 70-m conveyor connecting the existing medium section mill to the new spooler line, six housingless SHS 180 roller stands, complete with quick stand-changing table, a 6-pass Delta-type finishing block driven by a low-voltage- 2.5-MW motor and finishing services.
SDI and Danieli teams studied a temporary removable solution, steel support structure to support the existing furnace-exit roller table, allowing the execution of the Billet Welder concrete foundation with only minor impact to the MSM (Medium Section Mill) production schedule.
