SFRE head to Bangladesh to build a high-speed mill for Jalalabad Metal

CISDI’s SFRE team is to build a high-speed cold-rolling mill in Bangladesh for Jalalabad Metal.

CISDI has been contracted on an EPC basis for the creation of the 1,380mm 6-hi reversible mill, which will feature an AC frequency conversion drive system and will be able to roll to a maximum speed of 1,200m/min.

The higher speed and intermediate roll change unit will be used for creating a higher mill availability and a higher metal yield.

Jalalabad Metal is made up of multiple subsidiaries and specialises in the fabrication of steel structures, steel plate and colour coating lines.

In addition to the cold-rolling mill, Jalalabad is investing in a new colour coating line, a push-pull pickling mill, galvanising line and re-coiling line.

CISDI’s important equipment manufacturing base is MCC-SFRE Heavy Industry Equipment in Xi’an, in the Shaanxi Province.

It houses over 2,000 sets of production equipment for metal smelting, rough casting and forging, rivet welding, components heat treatment and machining and can supply all the mechanical equipment for the steel production line.
