- Heat treatment furnace for pipe
- Roller hearth furnace for heavy plate furnace
- Continuous galvanizing and annealing furnace
Evaporative Cooling System and Waste Heat Recovery Technology
CISDI have developed patented and proprietary technologies for evaporative cooling and waste heat recovery, which improve the overall efficiency of the plant. These include:
- Patented technology for invention of evaporative cooling system with forced recirculation
- Patented technology for practical new walking device
- Proprietary low drum evaporative cooling system in natural circulation
- Proprietary waste heat recovery technology with lower waste gas temperature
- CISDI has developed its hydraulic computation software for circulation cooling water
CAE Technology
Accurate finite element analysis is used to ensure design accuracy and efficiency. CAE technology is used to analyze the reliability and safety of products, to optimize the design and improve the product quality. Virtual and multi-condition simulations are used to minimize R&D costs, shorten the R&D cycle to bring new products to market.
Long Product Technology
Modified Breakdown Mills
CISDI have developed new model breakdown mills (BDCD850, BDCD1,000, BDCD1,350). These have been successfully implemented into the Xingtai Steel quality wire and rod mill, NISCO medium section mill and NISCO Jinxing heavy section mill.
Serialization Mill with Housing
A wide range of high-rigidity housing mills are available, including HSCD700, HSCD610, HSCD560, HSCD480 and HSCD430. These six models can be used in a wide array of applications across the rolling process from acting as a roughing mill through to acting as a pre-finishing mill in either continuous rod rolling or high-speed wire rolling.
Rod & Wire Reducing & Sizing Technology
CISDI offer patented reducing and sizing mills for rods and wires equipped with front and rear water coolers. This contributes to better grain size and dimensional accuracy of medium and small sized rods and high-speed wires. CISDI has good knowledge of reducing and sizing technology for rods, wires and large coils, and is leading the field in China especially for alloy steel products.
Flying Shears
CISDI have developed a range of FSCD flying shears for long products, which are applicable for rods as large as Ø130mm and triple-cutting ribbed bar as small as Ø8mm. The cutting speed varies from 0.5m/s to 24m/s. The flying shears can cut premium long products such as straight carbon steel, bearing steel, spring steel and mould steel. The flying shears have been successfully implemented in the premium rod rolling line in Pangang Changchen Steel.
Split Rolling and Controlled Cooling
CISDI provide equipment for double-splitting, triple-splitting and quadric-splitting with a minimum splitting size of 8mm. CISDI can provide controlled cooling technology for rods to enhance the rebar strength, which has been successfully applied in the wire and rod mill of KINSTEEL (Malaysia).
Tube Mill Technology
Integration of Three-Roll Mandrel Mill System
Through technological innovation, CISDI have developed the most advanced three-roll mandrel mill system in the world.
Off-line Analysis Software for Three-roll Mandrel Mill
Using finite element techniques, CISDI has developed a software package that can be used for accurate offline analysis. The system provides several models which can be used for analysis, these are as follows:
- Geometrical model
- Mandrel model
- Kinetic model
- Tube extracting model
- Mechanical adjustment calculation
- Roll gap set up model
Micro-Tension Reducing Mill
Three-roll micro-tension reducing mill developed by CISDI features leading equipment performance and electrical control in China. The reference list covers Ø114, Ø159 and Ø273 line.
Accurate Pipe Layer Positioning Device
CISDI created the pipe layer positioning device to bridge the technological gap in the market. It is being used on the Ø273mm PQF mill line for Anhui Tianda Steel.
Automation Control for Tube Mill
CISDI can provide all-round services such as EIC system integration, basic automation design, process automation design and software development, etc. for customers worldwide.
Cold Rolling Technology
Continuous Pickling Line Coupled with Cold Tandem Mill
CISDI can supply basic engineering, detail engineering, software programming and commissioning for continuous pickling lines coupled with cold tandem mills. Turbulent pickling and five-stand six-high tandem mill has been implemented into the 1450mm cold sheet/coil line for Tangshan Fengnan which was supplied by CISDI on an EPC basis. CISDI have replaced foreign companies in being the leading supplier for cold strip mills in China.
