FOCUS ON THE HOT STRIP MILL

At Castrol, we have applied our technical support and world leading application expertise to provide a range of products and services that perform in the demanding environment of the hot strip mill. We have focused on improving productivity and reducing total cost of ownership by unlocking hidden value related to your lubrication activities.
IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY BY REDUCING MAINTENANCE DOWNTIME AND EXTENDING EQUIPMENT LIFE

  • Select conveyor roll bearing greases to deliver maximum performance within this demanding operating environment and avoid damaging water washout
  • Provide the most effective grease for the coiler bearing to perform under extreme pressures, force and temperature
  • Supply high performance greases to improve performance and increase the life of universal joints
DECREASE CONSUMPTION OF GREASE/MORGOIL™ ON WORK AND BACKUP ROLLS AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF THE SYSTEM

  • Provide high performance greases to the bearing for each roll campaign, that are able to resist water wash out and handle shock loading
  • Significantly extend the life of the MORGOIL system, by improving demulsification properties
INCREASE THE LIFE OF THE BEARINGS ON THE WORK OR BACKUP ROLLS

  • Reduce corrosion caused through water ingress by providing suitable greases that have high resistance to water wash out
  • Extend bearing life by reducing the amount of water in the MORGOIL circulating oil
There are certain key applications in the Hot Strip Mill where Castrol’s advanced lubrication solutions can have the most impact on performance and reduce total cost of ownership:

Downcoiler bearings that are subject to high forces and temperature

Conveyor roll bearings under the quench line that are subject to water wash off

Universal joints which allow for discrepancy and movement, subject to slow speeds

Reheat furnace which is subject to high temperatures

Work and back up roll bearings that can be subject to water ingress

Energy saving gear oil applications

Leak resistant gear oil applications such as bridge cranes and roll conveyor drive gearboxes

Hydraulic fluid systems including fire resistant

Roll grinding fluids for the maintenance workshop
