3-roll
Intermediate Blocks

iRSB®

When space is limited but performance targets are high, the KOCKS iRSB® intermediate block provides a very compact reduction train. Bringing the proven advantages of KOCKS 3‑roll technology into the intermediate mill – the iRSB® is a powerful alternative to traditional 2‑high H/V stands.

3-ROLL PERFORMANCE
IN INTERMEDIATE MILL

Traditionally, the RSB® technology is used as a finishing unit in high‑performance SBQ mills for straight bar or bar‑in‑coil, and as a pre‑finisher in high‑speed wire rod applications. With the iRSB®, KOCKS has made its proven 3‑roll blocks ready for integration as an compact intermediate mill.

Replacing 2‑high stands, the iRSB® offers distinct advantages

  • Simple foundation and small footprint
  • Fast installation in new or existing mills
  • No shears or loopers between stands
  • Highly flexible size changes allow rolling of smaller lot sizes
  • Safe, operator‑friendly mill operation +Best pre-conditions for the finishing unit
GAIN ADDITIONAL PROCESS LENGTH

HIGHEST FLEXIBILIY
IN LIMITED SPACE

In rolling mills with limited space, the compact iRSB® frees up valuable process length thanks to the elimination of loopers and short stand spacing in a compact block. The iRSB® thus becomes a flexible lever for mill layout optimization – particularly where existing buildings and space constraints have previously set the limits.

Benefit from

  • Simplified mill operation and better temperature control
  • Additional reduction capacity to introduce larger billet sizes
  • Space for cooling sections to implement thermomechanical rolling
  • More freedom to tailor the rolling route to product and market need

The iRSB®: A lever for steel producers that need more process length, flexibility and control in the intermediate mill.
