VALIN Hengyang Tube Co.

A rebuilt tube rolling line at China’s VALIN Hengyang Tube Co. has passed all functional tests and is resulting in highly stable and efficient production.

Product is of good quality and an acceptable hourly output is being achieved.

CISDI has package-supplied the ø89mm line.

VALIN Hengyang have praised CISDI for its project management, design, manufacturing and commissioning skills, which ensured the rebuild was carried out on schedule.

“We greatly appreciate CISDI’s latest contribution to Hengyang Tube’s development,” a company spokesman stated in a letter to CISDI.

“With your high-quality design and package supplies, the ø89mm 3-roll MPM tube mill has been successfully rebuilt in nine and half months, as planned.

“With your attentive technical assistance and responsive problem-solving capability, it took only 45 days from stopping the old mill to starting up the new one, a record startup cycle for similar mills around the world.

“We’re excited to see that new line’s metal yield is obviously improved, while the reheating furnace’s energy consumption is much decreased.”
