Siemens to supply rebar mill for Thai Steel

Austria-based plantmaker Siemens Metals Technologies has announced that it has received an order from Thailand-based steelmaker Thai Steel Profile Co. Ltd. (Thai Steel) to supply a new bar rolling mill for its plant in Rayong, Thailand.
 
The rolling mill will produce around 500,000 mt of rebars per year. The starting material for the bar rolling mill will comprise 12 meter billets of carbon steel with a square cross-section of 150 x 150 millimeters, which will be processed into rebars with diameters ranging from 9 to 40 millimeters. The new rebar rolling mill is scheduled to be commissioned in the second half of 2015.
 
Thai Steel already runs a bar and profile rolling mill with an annual capacity of 400,000 mt in Rayong Province. The new rebar mill will enable Thai Steel to more than double its capacities for supplying the regional construction industry.
