Magnom used in steel plants

Magnom technology has been successfully harnessed in several applications in steel plants in the last few weeks.

The revolutionary Magnom technology has been successfully harnessed in several applications in steel plants in the last few weeks, in every case the technology has improved system reliability: Hydraulic system filtration on a steel pickling line.

Equipment for handling the steel rods during the process is hydraulically driven.

The environment this equipment works in is heavily contaminated with ferrous dust and larger particulate.

A standard aluminium bodied Magnom Module Unit is deployed before the existing conventional filters to remove the ferrous contaminants, extending the conventional filter life and improving the system cleanliness.

Hydraulically powered charge carts.

These carts deliver the coke into the smelting furnace.

They are vital to keep the process "fired".

The atmosphere and general environment are heavily contaminated with ferrous dust and larger particulate.

A stainless Steel Magnom Module Unit is deployed in addition to conventional filters to protect the hydraulic system.

Fan bearing lubrication system on gas extraction unit.

The environment is heavily contaminated with airborne ferrous dust and particulate.

Magnom is deployed in extraction fan lubrication system for process gas removal.

The fan system is vital.

It removes volatile gases created during the process.

If it fails, the manufacturer has to burn the gas off in situ.

This has serious environmental impact as the burn causes very dirty emissions.

Beam Mill Hydraulics system.

The equipment for handling and manipulating the steel beams during the hot forming process is hydraulically powered.

The environment is heavily contaminated with ferrous dust and larger particulate.

A Stainless steel Magnom Module Unit has been fitted before the conventional filters.

Stainless steel was used because the fire resistant hydraulic fluid is incompatible with our standard aluminium unit.

Large transmissions which drive hot or cold rolling processes and various transfer line applications.

These transmissions invariably use very viscous lubricating oils.

Magnom is highly effective in removal of ferrous wear metals that are generated by the operation of the transmissions.

Because of the very viscous lubes (Up To 5000 Centistokes) a barrier filter can not operate due to the massive pressure drop implications.

2in Magnom Process Units have been deployed, these have dramatically improved gearbox reliability.
