Steel Plant Maintenance & Reliability
Protect heavy-duty assets, continuous casters and rolling mills under severe shock loads, water and scale ingress.
Course Overview & Scope
A specialised programme for maintenance and reliability teams working in demanding steel-manufacturing environments. It focuses on protecting heavy-duty blast furnace, caster, and rolling mill assets, improving uptime and reducing wear-related mechanical failures.
Curriculum & Key Modules
Comprehensive 6 core technical modulesSteel Plant Severe Operating Conditions & Asset Map
Handling high ambient heat, continuous water washout, iron oxide scale, severe shock loading, and slow-speed high-torque drives.
Continuous Casting Machine (CCM) Reliability
Segment roll bearing lubrication, high-temperature polyurea/calcium-sulfonate grease, water spray sealing, and roll neck wear.
Hot & Cold Rolling Mill Drive & Morgoil Systems
Mill stand reduction gearboxes, pinion stands, Morgoil hydrostatic bearing systems, demulsibility control, and universal joint shafts.
Heavy Industrial Hydraulics & Proportional Valve Care
High-pressure hydraulic power packs, water-glycol (HFC) fire-resistant fluids, servo valve contamination control, and proportional controls.
Overhead Cranes, Ladle Turrets & Material Handling
Heavy ladle crane wire rope lubrication, open gear protection, gearbox oil monitoring, brake maintenance, and track alignment.
Failure Prevention, Contamination & Oil Reconditioning
Automated centralized grease systems (dual-line/progressive), high-volume water separation, centrifuge systems, and failure mode analysis.
