Kobe Power Plant
(Kobelco Power Kobe, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kobe Steel)
The Kobe Power Plant was constructed within Kobe Works. It utilizes
the operation technology from in-house power generation and
environmental technology cultivated over many years. Automated warehouse
Kobe Steel began its wholesale power business with the start of the
Kobe Power Plant s No. 1 unit in April 2002. The No. 2 unit followed in
April 2004, providing a total generation capacity of 1,400,000 kw.
This power station can provide approximately 70% of the peak amount
of electricity used by the city of Kobe. It also supplies electricity to the
Luminarie, a winter illumination event in Kobe.

Bar rolling and Bar conditioning

Billets are rolled into steel bars

The bar mill can roll special steel bars in a wide range of product sizes from ø18 mm to ø108 mm.
The bar conditioning shop provides heat treatment, removal of surface flaws and other processes according
to customers requests and applications. *The bar mill can also manufacture wire rods in sizes ranging from ø17 mm to ø55 mm.

■Steel bar rolling

The highlight of the mill is that it uses a
three-roll finishing block mill for precision
rolling and high roundness of the bars.
