SUMMARY:Improvement of material yield in EZDK wire rod mill plant
DESCRIPTION:Improvement of Material Yield in EZDK Wire Rod Mill Plant
EZDK wire rod mill plant was supplied by the German plant producer SMS, started commissioning in 1986 with one strand which was upgraded in 1996 with the second strand to reach over 900,000-ton annual production for sizes ranging between 5.5~16 mm for low, medium and high carbon steel products.
The improvement of the material yield in any rolling mill plant is crucial for improving efficiency and reducing costs. In EZDK wire rod mill plant, starting in 2019 an ambitious campaign was launched to optimize the wire rod yield figures. As yield is dependent upon many factors, such as cobbles, total scrap generation, crop loss and scale loss the campaign focused on many aspects in order to achieve its target.
Both technical and managerial techniques were put into practice in order to minimize the wastes created during the product's manufacturing process, how to get sure that your getting the maximum output of the inputs (billets) through controlling the reheating furnace settings to reduce the generated scale, reducing the material cobbles, and minimizing the no. of defected/scrapped coils was the challenge.
We are committed to providing accurate and timely information on the material wastes on daily/ weekly and monthly basis through developing a daily monitoring system that allows us to track material wastes in real-time, it wasn’t only about the technical points only but also how to change the minds of the people to believe that the reducing the wastes will make the difference.
By doing this, we could reach to a worldwide figure in the material yield (98.0%) for two consecutive years (2020, 2021) according to Badische best practice study, achieving the second place worldwide, looking forward to do better through applying further improvements.
