Steel Production
Safety and reliability without compromise
At Eisenbeiss, gear systems for steelworks, such as lance winches and crucible tilters, as well as for continuous casters, have been among our specialities for many years. We supply robust and low-maintenance special gearboxes, often with a redundant drive concept for emergencies, which is adapted to specific process and customer requirements. Especially in the continuous casting sector, we offer solutions that can withstand extreme loads.
Continuous Casting Line Gears
The special requirements for continuous cast driver drives result from the immediate proximity to the steel strand, which runs at temperatures of up to 450 °C. Eisenbeiss pinch stand gears are ideally equipped for these extreme operating conditions thanks to their integrated cooling and special seals.
Spur Gear System
The standard for spur gear systems developed by Eisenbeiss is used for various applications and is adapted to the requirements of each situation.
Ladle Turret Gear Systems
Turret gearboxes are subject to high fail-safe requirements in order to avoid extensive damage to the continuous casting line if the steel solidifies in the ladle in the event of a drive failure. Eisenbeiss has developed various gear solutions for this purpose that have been tried and tested for decades in the harsh conditions of steel mills.
Lance Winch
With the help of planetary gears it is possible to implement dual drive systems or emergency drive systems in critical plant components such as oxygen lance winches. Two different output speeds can be achieved purely mechanically when operated with one motor or two motors.
Converter Tilting Drive
This application stands out due to the high loads applied in a stationary state. When oxygen is blown in, vibrations and shocks are transmitted to the gear unit. Eisenbeiss therefore focuses on high static strength.
