The Siemens Industrial Solutions and Services (I&S) Group has received an order from Bhushan Steel and Strips (BSSL) to supply all electrical and automation systems for a new wide hot strip rolling mill, which is to be built. The order includes the drives, the entire basic and process automation as well as the visualisation system. Production is scheduled to start in 2008.
BSSL is currently building an integrated steel plant in Orissa to produce up to three million tonnes of steel a year. The new mill is expected to roll hot strip in thickness of 1.4-25 mm and a maximum width of 1.680 mm. The plant will be designed for an annual production of three million tonnes in the first construction stage. The second construction stage will consist of an upgrade to 4.5 million tonnes a year.
Siemens would be supplying the electrical equipment, the drives, the basic and process automation from the furnace to the coil conveyor, including all technological control systems and process models for strip dimensions and temperatures. Siemens will also provide customer training, monitor installation of all the supplied components and systems and commission the installation, including fine adjustment of the technological models and control systems.
