Lubrication & Hydraulic Systems
Lubrication Systems: Lube systems are essential in steel-making and rolling mills to ensure smooth, safe, and efficient operations. They minimize friction in high-speed, high-stress environments, protecting rollers, bearings, and gears from wear and overheating. Systems include oil reservoirs, pumps, filters, and coolers. Effective design involves selecting suitable fluids, proper filtration, and automated monitoring for temperature and pressure.
Hydraulic Systems: Hydraulic systems provide the force needed to control heavy machinery with precision — critical for adjusting roll gaps, actuating billet and slab movements. Key components include hydraulic pumps, valves, cylinders, reservoirs, and fluid conditioning systems designed to withstand extreme pressures and loads.
