Abstract

A modernization program for billet, bloom and shape products was completed at Mizushima Works generally aiming at streamlining the complicated crisscross of products from the two continuous bloom casters to the succeeding rolling mills. A new billet mill, which was a significant part of this modernization, was brought into operation in February, 1984. The billet rolling facility has the 'roll chance free" function in order to realize continuous and syncronized production between the continuous casters and the new billet mill.
This new factory has remarkably realized labor-saving and rationalization of handling and transporting by several new techniques, such as the highly computer controlled vehicle system and quick roll changing system.
The control of operation and information has been fully computerized over the entire processes from steelmaking to billet shipping.
