Due to the complexity of changing an existing mill’s pass design, guide reviews become essential. The Russula Technology Center recommends an on-site visit by a team of operations and engineering experts to perform an extensive design analysis of the mill, for all rolled sections and guides, which typically takes around one week.

Guides that are incompatible with the new rolling philosophy may need to be replaced. Our specialized technical team offers custom equipment design and supply for anything from standard and quenched rebar mills, to merchant bar, section, wire rod, and even super alloy mills.

Wire Rod & Bar Mill Optimization Project | Phase 3: Guide Design Review

During Phase 3 of the project, a team of Russula engineers visited the mill to review the guides. The existing equipment was studied and all of the required information was collected during the week long on-site visit. Once the engineers returned to the office, the design study took roughly two weeks to complete and was submitted to the mill. Some of the existing guides were adapted to the new pass design while others required specific parts replacement.

This phase of these types of projects takes a considerable amount of time and effort because the collection of information on site is no small task.  Often, the engineers have to build drawings and models from scratch, because time and again the information required to do a full study simply doesn’t exist. While time consuming, this step is critical to ensure the startup is smooth and saves the customer money by modifying as much existing equipment as possible. 

A guide study typically takes around three weeks to complete; one week on-site and two weeks off-site
