LMMM( LIGHT AND MEDIUM MERCHANT MILLS):

INPUT- Blooms from SMS(Steel Melting Shop) of the dimensions

PROCESS

These blooms from SMS are placed on charging grids by claw cranes. The blooms are then delivered to
the furnace approach roller table by an inclined elevator from bloom storage roller table.

( the take over device takes the bloom from the elevator and places it on the furnace approach table)

[The approach roller table is provided with weighing scale, a tilter and disappearing stops.]

The blooms are tthen positioned in front of the furnaces and then pushed by hydraulic pushers on to the
charging skids of the furnaces.

There are 2 walking beam type of furnaces of 200T/hr capacity with double row charging( 1200c)

The blooms can also be discharged from the charging side of the furnace in case of emergency.

The heated blooms are placed piece by piece by discharging devices on to the furnace delivery roller
table. The blooms are then descaled by high pressure de-scaler. These are then tilted 90 degrees by
bloom tilters.

(The blooms then travel through 2 horizontal and 3 vertical stands where the rollers apply shear force
on the bloom leading to deformation of blooms. The four crank shear cuts the 30m bloom into 3 parts
known as billets. Each billet is of 10m and consequently a bar of 30m alternatively. The billets are then
transferred to the cooling by drum type cross transfer they are of 125*125 and of 10m each. The
diverter switches alternatively on one of the sides and the thing which is of 30m is sent to bar mill)

The blooms of 30m are cut by crank shears into three parts. These are knowns as billets.The blooms are
reduced to 125 mm square in the stands. These are known as billets. The billets can be sold are further
processed to form bars.

A crank shear installed behind the mill stands is designed to crop both ends and to cut billet lengths as
per the requirement of WRM and sales

Billets feeding the lmmm are cropped at the front and the back.

1) Billets for sale:

The billets for WRM and the sale are cooled on 2 turn over type cooling beds to a maximum
discharge temperature of 400c . These billets are picked up by magnet cranes in the
intermediate billet storage and transferred to the transfer grids in the shipping area or
dispatched for sale.
2) Billets for further processing:
The billets after cropping by crank shear and having a length of about 30 mts are transported to
the in-line 2 strand roller hearth furnace of 200T/h capacity.
Billets normally arrive at the furnace with a surface temperature of 1100c. billets are heated and soaked
to a discharging temperature of 1150 to 1130c.

The continuous multi line mill comprises roughing trains and finshing trains. The loopers are provided in
between the finishing stands for tension free rolling in order to obtain good surface quality and
tolerances. Housings are of closed top type. Roll necks are mounted in anti friction bearings.

Shears for cropping and emergency cutting are arranged ahead of the first of the roughing mill stand
and upstream of intermediate mills. Snap shears for emergency cuts only are ahead of finishing mill. The
rotating shears after the finishing mills crop the materials leaving at rolling speed. And cut into multiples
of specified scales lenghts.

The finished bar is now send to cooling stretches. There are two cooling streches each installed just
downstream the last stream of the finishing mill. The purpose of the cooling streches is to cool down the
rebars to such an extent so as to produce desired mechanical properties. It also serves to control scale
formation.

What are charging grids?

What are roller tables?

What are tilters?

What is need for weighing scale and tilter and disappearing stops?

What type of furnace is used? And what is its temparature?

A. A walking beam type furnace is used. It is of 1200c

What are hydraulic pushers? What else can be used in place of them?

What are charging skids?

What are walking beam type of furnaces?

What is double row charging?

What is charging in this context?

What are discharging devices?

What is the furnace delivery roller table?

What is high pressure de-scaler?

 A. By spraying water at high pressure the scales formed on the blooms is removed. This device
which sprays water is known as de-scaler.
