Since our inception over 3 decades ago, Rasheed Steel has been on the forefront of producing high quality steel bars in Pakistan since 1990. Rasheed Steel was founded on the vision of contributing to Pakistan with international standard steel bars manufactured through modern technology and continuous innovation. Our vertically integrated plant has a production capacity of over 120,000 tons per annum. We use high quality imported scrap for our energy efficient green-induction furnace to produce prime billets for our steel production. Our Deformed Supreme, Elite and Magnum bars conform to American and British standards.
Billet is an intermediary steel product from which reinforcement bars are rolled. At Rasheed Steel, we produce our own billets to maintain the consistency of physical and mechanical properties of our rebars. Rasheed Steel offers billets manufactured by using premium quality raw material. Our billets are corrosion resistant and have high tensile strength. Our billets comply to ASTM A615, ASTM A706 and BS 4449:2005 international standards.
The company achieves its high standard of production through a rigorous process of manufacturing. High quality scrap is obtained that is melted in our very own environmentally friendly Green Furnace, after which the molten steel is conveyed to Continuous Casting Machines (CCMs). These advanced machines then convert the molten steel into hardened billets ready for the re-rolling process. The chemical composition is carefully monitored to achieve high quality prime billets. These hot rolled billets are conveyed to the automatic mill where they are converted into steel bars. This vertical approach empowers the company to produce high quality steel bars efficiently.
High quality scrap including ISRI 211, HMS1, HMS 1&2, etc. is imported from different parts of the world. Heavy duty cranes are installed for the transfer of scrap in our facility. Industrial Magnets are used to convey the scrap into our induction furnace for melting.
Industrial bucket loaded with scrap is poured into our furnace where scrap is melted and transformed into prime billets. During this process, we carefully monitor the composition of chemicals (Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Silicon, etc.) to produce billets as per international standards.
Scrap melted in the induction furnace is rolled out through the Continuous Casting Machine that casts molten scrap into precise billets for steel making process.
These precise hot rolled billets (primary raw material for steel rebars) are now ready to be rolled directly into the rolling mill.
Hot rolled billets are conveyed through conveyers to our automatic rolling mill responsible for transforming billets into steel rebars.
Hot steel rebars are conveyed to our 120-feet cooling bed where steel is cooled and accurately cut per foot or as per customer requirements to be prepared for bundling.
Steel Rebars are tested in our in-house laboratories for tensile strength, yield strength and ductility to meet international standards. Then the steel rebars are weighed and bundled for dispatch. Finally, each bundle is labelled with our tag and ready for dispatch.
