Kobe Steel has completed a new high-speed wire rod finishing line that meets this requirement. It has a capacity of 100 tons per hour and an operational finishing speed of 85m/s max. (design speed 100m/s max. ). It also features a newly developed high unit mill, Kobe Steel's high speed wire rod finishing block mill.
