Rails are rolled at Bruckhausen since 1894. Today an ultra modern production plant for rolling rails is located here. The blooms are heated in a walking beam furnace and then de-scaled. In the section rolling mill the blocks are roughed down to a size suitable for the finishing mill, a four stand tandem reversing mill. Two ultra modern quick-changing devices allow production of rails in lengths of up to 120m. One of the two stands from the 20ies is used to roll grooved rails by means of a traverse rolling technique. Finally the rails are straightened and undergo quality control.
