On April 2, the commissioning ceremony for the No. 4 Round Billet CCM Renovation Project of Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., undertaken by Capital Engineering & Research Incorporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as CERI) as the general contractor, was successfully held. Xu Yingqiang, Chairman, and Xu Bozhang, General Manager of Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. of Jiuyang Group, and Li Tie, General Manager of CERI, attended the ceremony. 

At the ceremony, Li Tie delivered a speech on behalf of CERI and extended his warm congratulations on the successful commissioning of the project. He emphasized that, as the general contractor of the project, CERI has always adhered to the philosophy of “Value Creation, Win-Win Cooperation”. With the goal of building a high-quality and demonstration project, CERI fully supported Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to embark on a new journey toward green and intelligent development and make a solid contribution to creating a new engine for the global special steel industry. During the construction of the project, CERI strictly adhered to the green, low-carbon, and high-quality construction standards, and successfully overcame multiple key technical challenges, including equipment integration and optimization and environmental performance improvement, helping Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. achieve a profound transformation from traditional steel manufacturing to smart, high-end, and green production, and injecting strong momentum into the development of a first-class special steel production base in China. 

This project is a key project for Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. to promote its transformation and upgrading, and also a crucial step for it to seize opportunities for high-quality development and lead the regional steel industry toward quality improvement and upgrading. The No. 4 CCM of Shandong Fulun Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. is a full-arc round billet CCM, capable of producing billets with cross sections from 310 mm to 600 mm, with an annual output of nearly 900,000 tons of qualified special steel billets. This CCM integrates multiple advanced technologies, including ladle slag detection, tundish induction heating, automatic mold liquid level monitoring, combined electromagnetic stirring at the mold and solidification end, modular round billet tension leveler, de-burring machine, and automatic ink jet printing manipulator. These technologies significantly improve the internal quality and surface precision of billets while reducing energy consumption and emissions per ton of steel, demonstrating CERI’s leading position in the field of high-end metallurgical equipment.
