Metallurgical Bearing
Harsh metallurgical conditions and fierce competitionFew industries can compare with the harsh working conditions of steel and other metal plants. Temperature and speed limit. Heavy and continuous impact load. Grinding dust, corrosive chemicals and high humidity. The combination of these conditions will degrade the equipment, cause unplanned shutdowns, and make effective maintenance difficult even under good working conditions.
Current steel mills are also facing fierce global competition and environmental review. Profitability? The need to improve productivity, profitability and sustainability is unprecedented.

Upstream-Steelmaking
In view of the ever-increasing steel demand and competition, steel mills are now looking for ways to optimize agents and save costs per ton of steel. Considering the harsh environment of transporting materials in the factory, this is a major challenge.
Upstream solutions help factories convert raw materials into molten steel. The process is more stable, more cost-effective, higher quality, and safer and more reliable in operation.
Upstream-continuous casting
In view of the increasing demand for steel and competition, the continuous casting agency line is facing tremendous pressure to optimize the agency and save metric tons of costs. Many steel mills try to differentiate themselves by improving process control, improving product quality, and acting as an agent to update products with higher steel grades.
During the operation process, the continuous casting agent line faces a series of conditions that make it difficult to improve the process and products. Frequent and expensive shutdowns for maintenance are inevitable because water, mold powder and scale will enter the bearing housing.
With decades of experience in the industry, the solution helps customers reduce maintenance costs, enhance process control, and increase the agent rate of the continuous casting agent line.
Upstream-rolling mill
Hot rolling mills and cold rolling mills are under pressure to increase output while maintaining and improving product quality. This usually means adjusting the equipment to accommodate heavier loads or reconfiguring the rolling mill stands, which is an expensive proposal.
In these two cases, the process control characteristics make the working conditions and maintenance requirements of the bearing configuration more severe. Operational safety and environmental protection legislation increase the difficulty of the challenge.
