Process
Step 1
Rails are heated in a reheated furnace to about 2300°.
Step 2
Using a transfer conveyor, they are transferred to the Mill building.
Step 3
Rail then passes through series of rolling stands, where it gets formed into a customer-required shape (such as T-post, Bed Angle and rebar) .
Step 4
Long-length shaped products from the mill are transferred to the cooling
bed via a series of conveyors.
Step 5
Long-length products are sheared to customer-specified lengths after going through series of quality checks.
Step 6
Cut to length T-posts are finished by bradding and painting them at the automated paint line.
Step 7
After painting, the posts pass through drying furnace and proceed to final tip-painting process.
Step 8
Posts pass over the mono-rail to the off-loading station, where they are stacked into final sub-bundles and finished bundles.
Step 9
Bundles of posts are loaded onto the truck from the storage yard.
Step 10
Loaded trucks are weighed at the DOA certified truck-scale.
