Steel rolling plant-gearbox for crushing machine & tension rollers
Successful Case of Gearbox for Crushing Machine & Tension Rollers
Time: October 2023
Client: Taiwan steel rolling manufacturer
Challenge
At the well-known domestic steel rolling plant, the crushing machine plays a key role in processing steel strips by breaking the surface rust and ensuring the quality of the final product. However, with over 30 years of operation, the crushing machine, specifically the crusher gearbox for importing 4# and exporting 1# and 2# tension rollers, had exceeded its durability limit. This resulted in frequent breakdowns, increased maintenance costs, and production delays, which threatened the normal operation of the production line.
Solution
According to the feedback from the plant manager, the new gearboxes have significantly reduced downtime and maintenance costs by 40%. The production efficiency has increased by 25%, and the overall safety of the operation has improved, with no reported accidents since the installation.
