Continuous casting and hot rolling

Steel is mostly made up of iron, but removing impurities from iron during steel production creates a stronger material (steel). Continuous casting is the primary method used to achieve this, due to its superior productivity compared to alternative processes. Following this up with hot rolling then gives the final product its desired shape.

Continuous casting plant for slabs

A continuous casting plant for slabs requires drives that exhibit maximum reliability. Drive technology from SEW-EURODRIVE can provide both a slow casting mode and rapid reversing for the dummy bar.

Onward transport of the slabs

Bridge cranes make optimum use of the available space in the workshop to maximize the working area. Get drive solutions from SEW-EURODRIVE that are tailored perfectly to your setup for additional security of investment. We also pay careful attention to energy efficiency for you.

Reheating of semi-finished steel products before hot rolling

Roller tables transport semi-finished materials to the furnace. The furnaces ensure hot rolling is always carried out at high and consistent temperatures.

Transporting semi-finished steel products

Roller tables synchronize the transportation of slabs, billets, and blooms. They ensure optimum rolling and cooling processes and therefore help deliver the best possible steel quality. Plant downtime must be avoided at all times.

Hot rolling of long steel products

Long end products include profiles, wires, and bars. These are used in countless applications and industries, including automobile components, tires, and even train tracks. Hot rolling reduces the size of steel products.

Coiling steel strip

At the end of the hot rolling process, coiler machine usually coils the product into a compact format. We have the ideal drive technology for the varying torque generated by this coiler machine.
