Turkish special steel producer Cemtas Celik Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. has ordered a Kocks Reducing & Sizing Block (RSB) 370++/4 in the 5.0 design as part of a modernization of its SBQ bar rolling mill.
The RSB will be installed as a finishing block, enabling the production of straight bars in sizes ranging from 15 mm to 100 mm with tight dimensional tolerances and improved surface quality.
