Heavy-Duty Maintenance for Rolling Mills, Furnaces & Casting Lines
Engineered for extreme industrial environments: intense radiant heat, continuous mechanical shock loads, abrasive metal dust, and zero tolerance for unplanned mill stoppages.
The High Cost of Downtime in Heavy Metal Production
A cobble in the hot rolling mill or a breakout in continuous casting halts entire production sequences, costing $15,000 to $60,000+ per hour.
Crucial mill roll re-grinding schedules and bearing grease cycles get skipped during high-output pushes, leading to catastrophic bearing seizures.
Managing hazardous hot-work, high-voltage substations, and confined space ladle entries with paper permits endangers technician lives.
Critical Equipment Supported in Steel & Metals
Maintenance Focus: Roll chocks, hydraulic screwdown cylinders, high-pressure descaling headers, drive gearboxes.
Maintenance Focus: Copper mould oscillation plates, secondary spray cooling nozzles, segment drive rolls, dummy bar chain.
Maintenance Focus: Electrode clamp cooling circuits, refractory lining wear, hydraulic tilting cylinders, roof fume extraction.
Maintenance Focus: Wire rope elongation, hoist drum brakes, wheel rail alignment, ultrasonic hook inspection.
Maintenance Focus: Girth gear lubrication, pallet car seals, baghouse filter pulse valves, heavy trunnion bearings.
Standardized Maintenance Workflows
Roll Grinding & Dimensional Wear Tracking
Log roll diameter passes, surface roughness (Ra), and grinding cycle histories directly to the roll set register.
Rigid Hot-Work & Furnace LOTO Enforcement
Enforce multi-lock isolation procedures before technicians enter furnace vessels or ladle preheating zones.
Scheduled Mill Stand Maintenance Turnarounds
Stage heavy replacement bearings, couplings, and chocks weeks ahead of scheduled weekly mill maintenance windows.
Core Capabilities for Steel & Metals Plants
Bundle hundreds of work orders, coordinate multi-craft contractor teams, stage critical spare parts in advance, and maintain tight control over shutdown critical paths and schedules.
Enforce rigorous safety compliance across dangerous industrial jobs. Digital Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures, Hot Work permits, and Confined Space authorizations with mandatory verification gates.
Maintain real-time multi-bin storeroom accuracy, track critical spares, enforce automated reorder thresholds, and eliminate both stockouts and bloated warehouse carrying costs.
Automate recurring maintenance schedules based on calendar intervals or equipment runtime meters. Eliminate forgotten lubrication cycles and ensure consistent machine reliability.
