Sarralle Rolling Mill celebrates its latest Factory Acceptance Test for the New Hot Charging System to transfer hot billet in a direct and automated way from the continuous casting to the feeding of the furnace of the rolling mill for Megasider Zaragoza.

Megasider belongs to the Megasa Group, a family business specialized in the production and distribution of long steel products. This mill is specialised in merchant bars, with a wide range of dimensions and grades being produced. The range also includes rebar and some sections.

The new system installed by SARRALLE allows two evacuation lines at the exit to the rolling mill:

  • A new hot outlet, to transport the hot billets with the minimum possible temperature loss, to the loading table of the reheating furnace.
  • The current cold exit to the train-side-cooler, which must be kept

The scope of the project has include the Engineering, Manufacturing, Purchasing, Assembly and Commissioning of the equipment and with this new charging system Megasider Zaragoza reduces the consumption in the rolling mill reheating furnace, also reducing emissions to the atmosphere, while improving the energy efficiency of its production process.
