Wedoany.com Report on Mar 4th, Recently, Erzhong Heavy Equipment Co., Ltd. (Erzhong Equipment), a subsidiary of China National Machinery Industry Heavy Equipment Corporation (CMHE), successfully developed and put into operation the world's first combined rolling equipment that efficiently integrates compact strip production with conventional hot continuous rolling. This equipment has been applied to the combined rolling production line of Jiugang Group Hongxing Hongyu New Materials Company, providing new momentum for process innovation and regional industrial chain upgrade in China's steel industry.
Leveraging its profound technological expertise, Erzhong Equipment proposed an original process concept. Focusing on energy efficiency improvement and low-carbon development goals, the company successfully designed and developed a complete set of equipment for the hybrid rolling of thin slabs compatible with compact strip production and conventional thick slabs. While retaining the advantages of a "short process and low cost" production line, this equipment innovatively integrates technologies such as "roughing mill tandem arrangement," adaptive control for multi-specification slab hybrid rolling, and a full-process dynamic scheduling system. This achieves complementary advantages between compact strip production and conventional hot continuous rolling, realizing the goal of "one machine, multiple functions." Through this innovation, production capacity has been significantly enhanced, product specifications cover a wider range, and the capability for batch supply of "high-end, precision, and advanced" products like high-quality electrical steel has been established. Economic benefits and environmental benefits have been simultaneously improved, propelling the traditional steel industry towards intelligent, green, and integrated development.
Erzhong Equipment will continue to deepen its expertise in the high-end metallurgical equipment field, actively respond to national industrial strategies, drive intelligent manufacturing innovation through breakthroughs in core technologies, and translate innovative achievements into tangible industrial results, contributing the strength of "central enterprise intelligent manufacturing" to the iterative upgrade of China's steel industry.
