He explained: "The mill will produce rebar products ranging in diameter from 8 to 16mm, material that is primarily used in the construction industry.

The mill will include 16 no-housing stands for the roughing and intermediate train; a two way slitting unit; two six-stand No-Twist mills; water boxes; dividing shears; a high-speed runout; cooling bed; cold shear; and bundling and strapping equipment.

"The combination of the above equipment will result in the latest method of rolling rebar as the rebar will be finished rolled in a single-strand fashion through a No-Twist Mill without twisting the product.

When completed, the mill will produce 600,000 tonnes annually, with provisions for future expansion", he concluded.
