A modernised continuous pickling line and tandem cold mill at Xinjiang Bayi Steel is now operational.

The first pickled merchantable coil was produced in early June and the first coil was rolled in early July, a process which saw all designed indicators fully achieved.

The line and mill is a combined line and replaces the original continuous pickling line and one tandem cold mill.

CISDI built to an EPC mode to achieve critical improvements in quality and efficiency, the new line can produce both pickled merchantable coil and chilled coil.

Output and yield have been improved substantially. Thin products can be rolled to just 0.2mm, product surface, profile qualities are greatly improved and greater varieties  of high-tensile steel can be rolled. Xinjiang Bayi’s new PL-TCM has an annual production capacity of a million tonnes - made up of 100,000 tonnes of pickled coils and 900,000 tonnes of chilled coils.

The pickled coils cover a specification range of 1.5mm-6mm×700mm to1,550mm. Chilled coils can be rolled to a specification range of 0.2mm~3mm×700mm to1,270mm.
