Egyptian Steel Commissions New Rebar Production Line in Alexandria

Egyptian Steel has successfully commissioned a new rebar production line at its Alexandria plant in parallel to the existing wire rods production line.

The new rebar production line is designed to produce 250,000 ton/year rebars in various sizes ranging from 16.0 mm to 32.0 mm.

Alexandria Plant was actually designed to produce wire rods in various sizes ranging from 5.5 mm to 12.0 and to produce 40 meters per second. Egyptian Steel had contracted prominent companies such as Danieli and Sider Engineering to rehabilitate its production facilities. The production capacity of the plant is 300,000 tons per year of wire rods.

The engineering and technical management of the company had decided to use DRB (direct rolling and bundling) system to produce steel rebars in bundles. This system enables cutting of the high tensile final commercial rebar length directly before the bundling process in order to reduce the production costs.

The implementation of DRB technology will increase the annual production by 5pct and reduce the electrical consumption by 10pct without compromising the highest quality steel production.

These improvements decrease the transportation cost for the customers as they will be able to get wire rod and rebar products from the same place.

Egyptian Steel was established in 2010. Under the holding company, there are - National Port Said Steel (NPSS), IIC for Steel Plants Management and Egyptian Steel for Building Materials.
