Zaporizhstal Iron and Steel Works is increasing the durability of its rolls by increasing the volume of rolled metal and improving its efficiency.
According to the company, the hot rolling shop systematically implements effective measures to improve production and reduce costs.
For example, last year, the rollers increased the stability of horizontal rolls at Slabbing 1150, which made it possible to roll 20 thousand tons more metal per coil. This resulted in an economic effect of about $18 thousand per year.
In addition, the specialists of the Cold Rolling Shop (CRS) implemented a combined technology for processing slabs, which led to a significant reduction in rejects. As a result, the economic effect amounted to $125 thousand per year.
We also worked productively on one of the most important indicators – the metal consumption ratio. A whole range of measures was implemented to reduce the amount of scrap metal by 2.2 kg per ton of rolled steel. These measures resulted in $475 thousand of economic effect per year.
