Coolants and bearing lubrication

Metal rolling systems operate in intense environments of heat, water, and friction. Bearing lubrication and hydraulic fluid purity is critical for continuous operation but is subject to entrapped gases, particulate contamination, and water intrusion. Additionally, the process water used to rapidly cool the sheets needs to be free from particulate contamination both before and after the process, despite the amount of particle load, grease, and caustics brought on by the process itself.

Drives gear box and roll housing

Companies in the metal manufacturing industry have been increasingly reliant on predictive maintenance programs to protect metals and equipment from contamination. These programs, such as oil analysis and condition monitoring, require filters and purifiers that will effectively reduce particulate contaminants at the lowest cost.

Forging and extrusion

Forging is one of the oldest processes in metal production. Once the metal has been processed through hot rolling, it can be forged into different shapes to make plates, rods, sheets, tubes, or structural materials. Extrusion has only been used since the 1930s, and is a hot working metal process that sends metal into a die often using molten glass as a lubricant.

Material directional control

Material directional control is important for the metal, because although the metal does not have directionality on its own, other particles that the metal is exposed to can create directionality, and this results in the metal being multi-shaped. In addition to this, the control of the temperature helps to prevent the directionality issue from arising, because it prevents recrystallization which interferes with hardening.

Material handling

Keeping contaminants out of hydraulic and lubrication oils is vital to the primary metals industry. Servo-Hydraulic systems such as electric arc furnaces, roll positioning, continuous caster, and automatic gauge controls, and lubrication systems such as rod mills, rolling mills, foil mills, extrusion operations, and forging operations all require high quality filers and filer elements if production is to be maximized and deadlines are to be kept in order to remain competitive.
