Our Expertise
Steel and metallurgy facilities push equipment to its thermal and mechanical limits, on lines that rarely stop. We supply material handling, crushing and filtration equipment specified for the temperature, the loads and the duty cycle of the installation rather than for a nominal rating, and we handle installation and commissioning inside the available window. Where the decision is not obvious, an independent assessment comparing the realistic options on total cost of ownership comes before the purchase, not after it.
Problems we address
- Thermal and mechanical loads at the limit of standard equipment ratings
- Continuous lines with very short intervention windows
- Purchase decisions driven by price rather than lifecycle cost
- Heavy lifting and site access constraints during installation
Equipment in scope
- Material handling lines in high-temperature service
- Crushing and feed preparation equipment
- Filtration and separation equipment on process streams
- Cooling and descaling circuit ancillaries
Operational Constraints
- Sustained temperatures and thermal shock in furnace areas
- Heavy mechanical loads and vibration on rolling lines
- Cyclic operation with frequent stops and restarts
- Very short intervention windows on continuous lines
Recommended equipment
- Material handling equipment specified for high-temperature service
- Crushing equipment and unblocking systems for feed preparation
- Filtration and separation equipment for process streams
- Lifecycle cost comparison before the purchase decision
Types of Shutdowns
- Planned campaign end and refractory reline (7–21 day shutdown)
- Roll change and stand maintenance window
- Emergency shutdown on hydraulic failure or water-cooling breach
Risks We Help You Avoid
- Equipment failing early because it was rated nominally, not for the real duty
- Line stoppage during an installation that overran its window
- Capital committed on a comparison that was never made
- Lifting incident on an unplanned heavy installation
Sector FAQ
Can you compare several suppliers for us?
Yes, that is what the industrial advisory service is for. Any brand we represent among the options is declared as such in the report, so you can weigh the recommendation knowing where it comes from.
Do you handle heavy lifting at installation?
The lifting plan and rigging study are issued before delivery, and execution follows the site's HSE plan and the applicable CSA requirements for lifting devices.
