Production Plants

Rolling Mill is a tandem type mill consists of, Re-heating furnace, Roughing, inter, and finishing strands. The mill is designed to produce bars ranging from 10 ~ 25 mm plain bars and 10 ~ 42 mm deformed bars.

The mill’s capacity was designed to produce 330,000 MT; however various modifications have ensured double this capacity since start up. Furthermore, a High Speed Finishing Bar Mill was commissioned in 1996, contributing to the expansion of the old mill and adding the 8 mm size to increase the annual production capacity to 750,000 tons.

Qatar Steel Rolling Mill produces finished products, in keeping with its commitment to quality and productivity. The required billets are received from the Continuous Casting shop, pre-heated in a Re-heating Furnace and rolled to different sizes.

To minimize the Mill’s down time and production costs, Qatar Steel Rolling Mill implemented the PLC control system in the Re-heating Furnace, mill motors, and the auto counting machine. Moreover, a straightening machine was installed in 2005 to straighten deformed coils of 8-12 mm as per the demands of the market place.

Qatar Steel has commissioned its ultra-modern Rolling Mill from VAI POMINI, which will enable an increase in its annual production to 1.5 million tons of reinforcement bars.

In its facilities in Dubai, a new Bar Mill from the same source with the latest automation features is currently being set up with a capacity to produce 300,000 metric tons of deformed bars ranging from 8-40 mm in 12 meter straight lengths.
