EJP: Two new drawing
lines for MMK-Metiz
Driven cold rolling stand improves
flexibility and quality
EJP has received an order from Russian OJSC
MMK-METIZ for the supply of two drawing
lines to be installed at the Magnitogorsk works.
One is a combined drawing line for bright steel
with diameters between 8 and 30 mm. It will be
the world’s first 30-ton drawing line equipped
with a driven cold rolling stand in order to be
able to produce square bright steel sections
from round input stock. The second line is a
chain draw bench line for the production of
bars with diameters of up to 68 mm.

With the new lines, which will come with a number
of innovative features, MMK-METIZ is going to
expand its product range, among others, towards
larger diameters. The excellent product quality – e.g.
straightness tolerance of 0.1 mm/m and diameter
tolerances of h8 and h9 – will provide MMK-Metiz a
leading position in the Russian bright steel.
The new lines will boost the works’ output by approx.
15 tons per hour of bright steel products.
