Fairless works ¿ Electric equipment for slabbing mill and blooming mill

STEEL ingots produced at the Fairless Works are first reduced for further processing by the most powerful combination of reversing mills which has ever been built. The largest ingots are rolled in a universal slabbing mill and are transferred direct to a hot-strip mill. Smaller ingots are first reduced to rectangular blooms in the slabbing mill and then are transferred to a high-speed 40-inch reversing blooming mill for further reduction to intermediate sizes. This combination has many unique mechanical and electrical features.
